The workplace of a flamegraph engineer

[Nate Matherson @NateMatherson]

If your WFH desk setup doesn't cost more than a used Honda Civic, you aren't serious about your pipeline.

My ergonomic chair is built from the salvaged suspension of a 2019 Tesla Model S.

My primary monitor is a converted IMAX screen I bought from a bankrupt theater in Oakland.

When I drag a cell in Google Sheets, I physically have to rotate my entire torso. I burn 400 active calories a day just searching for the Slack icon.

Stop complaining about back pain and optimize your environment.

@monolisafont @dinsley @jahirfiquitiva I figured that out by checking the purchase page as an anonymous user. I’ve already purchased the upgrade. Thanks again! You’re the best!

[Vitaly Slobodin @Vitalliumm]

I am simple. I see @zeddotdev and some nice Ruby code, and I like the tweet.

[James Kerr @specialCaseDev]

This is how you set default values for a Data.define class

[Vitaly Slobodin @Vitalliumm]

@lysak_online А. я бы UX поменял все равно. Кнопка «Passkey» выглядит явно лишней там.

[Vitaly Slobodin @Vitalliumm]

@lysak_online UX ебанутый, это да. В остальном, все ок, кмк

[Vitaly Slobodin @Vitalliumm]

@lysak_online Не пойму. Что не так?

[Vitaly Slobodin @Vitalliumm]

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

[Vitaly Slobodin @Vitalliumm]

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

[Zed @zeddotdev]

We open-sourced Zed in January 2024.

Since then, the repo has amassed over 84k ⭐s and receives more PRs than we can honestly keep up with.

The Community Champions program is how we recognize and track work from contributors we've come to know and enjoy working 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.

[Vitaly Slobodin @Vitalliumm]

Meh, found a nasty macOS PATH issue in @zeddotdev

Zed can correctly capture a project env, but extension commands like `ruby --version` may still launch the wrong binary.

Why: macOS posix_spawnp("ruby", ..., envp) resolves ruby using Zed’s own process PATH, not the PATH passed to the child (I think). https://t.co/HKez5naVJu

[Zed @zeddotdev]

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.

@juliknl @zeddotdev @reflectronic

[Vitaly Slobodin @Vitalliumm]

@juliknl Exactly. I try to stay away from commenting on any GitLab‑related tweets because I'm an employee, but Ruby perf is not in the top 10 (or even 20) challenges at GitLab. Even humorous tweets like "let’s just create our own GitHub" don't make much sense, IMHO.

@bunopus John жи

[Vitaly Slobodin @Vitalliumm]

Codex should be renamed to Ex-Code.
Because you only come back to it after Claude Code says “monthly usage limit reached”

[Vitaly Slobodin @Vitalliumm]

@zeddotdev I've opened a PR as well https://t.co/1rNM5Y2YD9 hopefully it will land in Extensions API v0.8.0.

[Vitaly Slobodin @Vitalliumm]

Managed to get Ruby LSP code lenses working in @zeddotdev :)

[Vitaly Slobodin @Vitalliumm]

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