Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead? No, wait – it's on Windows  
Zed Industries has released a public beta of its Rust-based code editor for Windows, addressing a critical gap since Windows is used by 49.5% of professional developers. The beta is available through Discord with general availability planned for October. Performance tests show Zed uses significantly less RAM than VS Code (142MB vs 730MB) and includes WSL integration for Linux development workflows.

Hired Through GitHub: Part 1 — Zed's Blog  
Zed Industries shares stories of developers who joined their team through open source contributions rather than traditional hiring. The post highlights two contributors: Junkui Zhang, who became their top external contributor by implementing Windows support features, and Anthony Eid, who worked on the highly-requested debugger feature. Both developers started as community contributors, engaged through GitHub and Discord, demonstrated consistent code quality, and eventually transitioned to full-time team members after building relationships through pair programming sessions.
