But codeium has no support. I did all setup last night but I had to switch to b*t code again. Zed gives me web storm vibes. they have most of the features builtin, no extra plugins required. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments -
