This was my experience with the editor as well. For about 2 seconds, I admired how clean it was. I then struggled to read anything at all and haven't reopened it since.

(Edit to get ahead of the comments: I'm sure I can change it. Customization is important. Almost as important as good defaults)

I tried zed for its vertical agent threads grouped by project (which Claude Code has since added) and had the same experience--even after trying a bunch of different themes. It felt like none of the dark themes had enough text contrast.

Maybe my eyes are just getting worse...

My experience with Zed was installing it and giving up after spending 15 minutes or so making the settings sane

It's probably just because I'm old

I wouldn't say the contrast is ultralow but it definitely could be improved

It also seemed mostly AI, which made me think, okay, I'll copy and paste this and have a model summarize it for me, but it seemed, I don't know, low effort, not interesting. I didn't even bother.

There seems to be this push towards more agents, more better. Me no write code, me just yell at box. But recently I've actually gone the other way. I stopped using the frontier models and just started using cursor auto.

Mostly because it's just insanely fast, like 20 times faster than the frontier stuff. And it really isn't that bad. If it screws up, it's fine, I can fix it quickly. If the frontier models screw up, I just burned two hours.

The last thing I want to do is burn $20,000 worth of tokens overnight, to realize they made a complete mess.

When it was the policy to use AI tooling, that’s all I ever used. And it was mostly one or two prompts in most conversations to get things done. Get a first version generated by the AI and fix the issues manually.

Yeah it just feels like the whole post is unimportant.
