Running Claude Code within Zed
After several months using Zed’s built-in Agent panel I’ve switched to Claude Code. The main reason is cost. I’m still using the same models—still primarily Sonnet (and occasionally Opus) 4—but using them via the Agent panel incurs per-token billing via the Anthropic API. I was racking up a lot of costs (around 100USD/week) even with a bit of restraint, although still using it fairly heavily during all work days.

Agentic Elixir superpowers: Zed + Tidewave + AshAI
For a few years now whenever I need to build any sort of networked interactive experience, I reach for Elixir (with Phoenix LiveView and Ash). It’s an extremely productive combination, especially when you want to do more complex client/server information flows than the standard request/response UX. I’ve also (for the last year or two) ditched Emacs for Zed. Again, if you take the time to master these tools I think they’re excellent.

Format Markdown on save in Zed using Prettier
One thing I’ve particularly enjoyed since switching to Zed is format-on-save, which is turned on by default in most programming modes. However, it’s not turned on by default for Markdown files.
