Man…so #Zed added a "subtle" mode to their AI completions and this is what I've been asking for since coding assistants started being a thing.
My Love/Hate of currently: the #zed editor. I utterly despise the AI enshittification inside the editor - switched of everything. But I love the UI and the almost gameified short-cut arrangement.
If #SublimeText would go open source, I think in one year after, #vscode, #zed and other code editors / IDEs will be just remembered, but not used...
One of the biggest perks of using Codestral with Zed is that usage is metered, so I only pay for what I use. This is in contrast to the fixed Copilot sub, which is about 20€/month. With Zed and Mistral I'm paying ~3-4€ for completions + chat with the assistant.

Welchen Editor nehme ich bloß?
Da ich VIM mag (obwohl ich nur wenig damit kann), wollte ich NeoVim "richtig" aufsetzen.
Ein Freund nutzt es intensiv. Ich frage, welchen Package Manager ich denn verwenden soll.
Die Antwort: lazy, aber nimm doch Zed mit VIM-Mode
Ich hasse es. Da sind schon genug Rabbit Holes.
I finally figured out how to run subtests in Go in #Zed with my own configuration! I needed to add custom build tags to tests, or they wouldn't run. Thank you, Github user anilsenay. :D https://github.com/anilsenay/zed-gotest/blob/master/languages/go/tasks.json
