FYI, in v0.16.20 of the Ruby extension for @zed.dev, we removed the Ruby snippets since they weren’t being actively used. The snippets are still available in the `ruby-snippets` extension.

I'm still amazed that Ruby on Rails engineers keep suggesting the ServiceObject pattern to avoid AR callback hell. I will die on this hill: services are worse and bring even more problems than callbacks.

Ziggo offers 2Gbps access now. I guess it's time to renovate my UniFi network, and the first thing I need to do is get a replacement for my USG 3P.

After using many models, I've noticed that I'm using Mistral models more and more. I'm not exactly sure why, but I can really feel that they (`mistral-*-3.5`) work exactly as I need them to. too bad that their CLI does not support plugins...

I’ve been busy lately with Act 2 in @gitlab.com, so there have been almost zero fixes or improvements to the Ruby ext for Zed. I’ll be back soon. Sorry.

As a Community Champion (thanks @zed.dev), I can say that the Zed team is one of the best I've ever worked with! ❤️

Unfortunately, this issue broke the Ruby extension, which relies on the correct Ruby version. Probably the best approach here is to remove the automatic installation of Ruby servers and rely entirely on the project gemset. The downside is that Ruby LSP is usually not part of it.

Terminal Threads are live in Zed v1.3.5! You can now run claude, amp, pi, or any terminal-based workflow as a managed thread in the Threads Sidebar, right next to your other agent threads.

Meh, found a nasty macOS PATH issue in @zed.dev Zed can correctly capture a project env, but extension cmds like `ruby` may still launch the wrong binary. Why: macOS posix_spawnp("ruby") resolves ruby using Zed’s own process PATH, not the PATH passed to the child. github.com/zed-industri...

Fun fact I discovered recently: most public LLMs (especially from OpenAI and Anthropic) were likely trained on our GitLab repo, so they sometimes generate code that follows patterns we stopped using a long time ago. 😄

Unfortunately, Ruby LSP code lenses won’t work due to technical limitations.

I kept getting bitten by regressions in tree-sitter queries for the Ruby extension in @zed.dev. So I added snapshot-based tests (hello Jest!) that capture query matches and make changes obvious in dev&review. hehe. github.com/zed-extensio...

Ruby extension for @zed.dev updated to 0.16.4: better Ruby test name extraction and per-Ruby-version gem installs to avoid compatibility issues. NOTE: clean up your Ruby ext work directory so old gems don't cause trouble. See the release note for instructions: github.com/zed-extensio... Thanks!

If you're an extension author for @zed.dev, check out the Tree Sitter Query extension that adds the ts_query_ls language server (github.com/ribru17/ts_q...) It supports linting, go to definition, autocomplete, and formatting, making DX much nicer when working with *.scm files.

How do you configure macOS Tahoe to make it usable? Liquid Glass is completely unusable, and I'm tempted to switch back to Linux because of it. I've tried some options, such as reducing transparency and increasing contrast, but no luck.

Sweet! This option in @1password.bsky.social makes my browsing experience a lot better in Orion by @kagi.com! Before, I had to log in to the 1Password extension every time I opened a new tab.

Screenshot of the 1Password app settings window, showing the "Browser" section selected in the sidebar. The main panel includes options to connect 1Password with browsers. A checkbox is checked for "Connect with 1Password in the browser" with explanatory text below. There is a blue button labeled "Get 1Password for Your Browser." Under "Connect to additional browsers," the text explains supported browsers and permission settings. Below that, "Orion RC" browser is listed with its file path, and a button labeled "Add Browser" is visible. The sidebar on the left shows other categories: General, Appearance, Security, Privacy, Browser (highlighted), Developer, Labs, Advanced, and About.
