Zed developers, if you read this, please get inspired by Cursors "Fix it" button that you can click on any error. It simply starts a new chat with the code context and error message, suggesting possible fixes.

I'm currently learning Rust and this is such a powerup that I honestly wouldn't know how to learn anything without.

Seeing a 20% margin of error for some of their tests (due to VMs, noisy neighbors), makes me curious how others solve this problem. Dedicated hardware seems like a good investment, otherwise you need to constantly overcompensate with multiple runs.

At Framer (framer.com) we actually had a bit lower variance (I think it was closer to 15%) after spending three months of solid engineering, ending up with a dedicated Mac Mini running Chrome.

Apart from the admin overhead (things got stuck on OS updates) we ended up abandoning the setup because the variance was too big to get anything useful out of running tests for every pr.

The most reliable way for us to monitor performance today is to count slow frames (>16ms) across all actual users and divide them by total time spent in app. It’s a rough proxy, but pretty accurate at showing us when we mess up.

The landing page seems to rely heavily on:

- Users’ familiarity with Coda as a reference point for its increased quality

- Statements about the hard work that’s gone into it

I say this as a huge Panic fan. It just felt ‘off’ to me, like the initial arguments for trying it are “look how hard we tried” and “it’s better than our old product”.

This may be an unfair assessment but it’s what stood out for me.

Having said all of this, I’ll still give it a go!

Although the page does rely a bit on things that mostly Mac fans will appreciate, I didn’t have the same impression. It’s fun to see how true Panic stays to their craft and it’s great to have the best native benchmark out there to compare to cross platform (web) approaches.

koenbok commented on Ask HN: How can a non-techie mom regain access to her FB account? · Posted by u/lsjfd

When I was at fb they had an internal email address called oops where you could forward issues like these. So maybe you can ask a friendly employee if that's still the case, and if they can help.

koenbok commented on Ask HN: Earning 100k EUR in Berlin? · Posted by u/wegwerfen

volgo · 5 years ago

That's wild... As much as I love to complain about the bay area, being able to go upwards of $500k for an individual contributor keeps me here. Even taking into account of increased medical costs and crappy public transport, still very much worth it. Don't think there's any place it on Earth that pays this much

koenbok · 5 years ago

It's good to have a place like that. It's hard that it can take much more then you wish for, from not feeling productive all the way to taking all of the fun out of building. Watch out for that if you can. Also, Berlin is a pretty awesome place pushing some very cool things, both in and outside of venture tech.
