Zed

I have been occasionally using Zed for a year now. The speed is astounding. This contribution journey with Zed began while developing an extension for the Arch MCP server to publish on Zed extensions marketplace. During the extension development, I discovered a bug in the configuration modal and reported it. Despite initial memory constraints (worked around with ), I set up the full development environment. By the time I was ready to fix it, someone had already submitted a patch. Rather than waste the setup effort, I decided to tackle another issue I had personally encountered.

I punched above my weight, but @davew's guidance made it possible. What started as one extension contribution evolved into three meaningful contributions to the editor itself.
