The roadmap on the other hand seems to have 4 things tagged AI on it. https://zed.dev/roadmap

The blog used to be really personal and nice but now it's all AI https://zed.dev/blog

I get it, pausing some work to ship AI integration plumbing is a good strategy to keep momentum up with competition.

I think after their Series B, looking at the roadmap, and now with this pricing featured it's pretty clear what their priorities have become.

I'm not against AI, I just feel like they can do better and their original mission is still a better long-term angle.

By every metric - lines of code shipped, hours per week spent on it, number of people assigned to it, etc. - AI is a minority part of what Zed does. It's a priority, but it's not the priority.

I know there's a disproportionate amount of blogging about AI, but that's a decision about what prose gets written, not what code gets written!

Appreciate your reassurance on this, and I believe this is indeed _currently_ the case.

My worry is on the direction and positioning as it stands _now_ when looking _out_.

I guess time will tell, and I have no problems being wrong here. In fact I even desire to be wrong.

Excited to see what DeltaDB is all about and how it affects the company direction too, especially now with Sequoia pulling some strings.
