**Jerod Santo:** Yeah. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** A multi-buffer is whenever you have multiple files open and they're all being edited, right? Like, this is not just like a multi-line in a single file. It's multi-files being edited at once in the buffer of the AI. Is that right? |
**Nathan Sobo:** Yeah, it's like a single virtual buffer that composes excerpts from multiple files in one scrollable editor. Like, it's treated as a virtual buffer, but it's not actually one buffer. It's composite. |
**Jerod Santo:** But it does present itself as a single buffer, and as you are editing or looking at it or scrolling it, it will show you where different files start and stop, but you can change them right there, you don't have to go click through to that file unless you want to, to make changes to those files. |
**Nathan Sobo:** And so yeah, it's just like there's been interesting ways thus far in the history of Zed to like populate one of these multi-buffers. You could do a project-wide search. You could get the diagnostics; where are there problems? Now we have the git diff. But a really interesting one for me is you can hav... |
**Jerod Santo:** Yeah. Is there any value or reason to persist those somehow, and be able to recall them as if they were...? |
**Nathan Sobo:** Yeah, we haven't gotten that far, but maybe. Yes. And in order to do that -- I mean, I think the challenge starts to get in... There's some things right now that are CRDTs, the conflict-free replicated data types, which we've talked about in previous episodes... But eventually consistent data structure... |
**Jerod Santo:** For some reason you triggered the easy bake oven in my head, but this does not sound like easy bake at all. Early bake, but not easy bake. Okay. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Can I share here in the moment some experience with this? |
**Nathan Sobo:** Yes, please do, and I hope it doesn't kill me. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I'm not not paying attention, I'm listening, I'm letting y'all talk. I'm paying attention. |
**Jerod Santo:** You're doing it all, man. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** But I'm playing. |
**Jerod Santo:** Oh, you're playing. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I'm playing with this agent. |
**Jerod Santo:** Nice. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** \[55:49\] And it's the coolest thing ever. I think it's just revolutionary/magic/ould never expect this to be possible, ever, ever, ever. But it is. |
**Nathan Sobo:** \[laughs\] |
**Jerod Santo:** Put that on your homepage, Nathan. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Right?! |
**Nathan Sobo:** \[laughs\] |
**Jerod Santo:** "Adam Stacoviak said..." |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I'm using Zed, I am just in my simple adamstacoviak.com Jekyll website, and I was like "Okay, what's the best way to test this?" I opened up the agent part of it, which I believe is Command+R... What is it? How do you get to the agent? Something like that. I don't know. It's down at the bottom right... |
**Nathan Sobo:** Command+R will target the right bar. But Command+? will -- |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Command+?, yes. |
**Nathan Sobo:** And you have to hold Shift, so that makes it a little awkward... But the idea was it's easy to remember. "I have a question. I want to interact with you. Help me out." |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I like that. |
**Jerod Santo:** Oh, I learned something. I didn't know that did that. Okay. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I would actually... I've got a different idea, but don't worry about it. I won't fork my thought process here. So I'm here, in a very common file, in a Jekyll project that everyone has. It's the config file. And it's a YAML file, and so that means you can just make this thing a mess if you want to. ... |
**Nathan Sobo:** Nice! Good to hear. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** It made a bunch of suggestions, I reviewed them all, I'm like "These are amazing." It took me to a whole new branch. It opened a Markdown file and described the changes it's making for me... And the whole time I feel like I'm just like just driving the... I don't know how to describe what I'm doing ... |
**Jerod Santo:** You're going for a ride. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I'm just here directing. |
**Nathan Sobo:** You're collaborating. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I'm just here directing. I know what the code should read; I'm not writing the code. It's writing it, and I'm like "Yeah, that's cool." |
**Nathan Sobo:** You're collaborating, in a way. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yeah. |
**Nathan Sobo:** I think you kind of are. It's like a collaboration. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** It's very much like that. |
**Jerod Santo:** \[unintelligible 00:57:40.01\] jazz. |
**Nathan Sobo:** I mean, we built Zed because I don't want to collaborate on a screen share session where I can't type, right? I want to be an engaged participant. I think it's my ethical duty to be an engaged participant depending on what software I'm working on. So I'm not just like literally vomiting generated text ... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yeah. It's very much a conversational scenario. I won't go into it because it's not worth it, but there's just some things that stood out to me as part of this... When I began the process, I didn't pay attention to the state of my branch. So I was in a -- I had some work I was working on... I think ... |
**Jerod Santo:** You just git stash... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** That's the LLM's job now. |
**Jerod Santo:** True. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Right? And so it stashed the code for me. This is only after I'm like "I think we have some dirty code here. We couldn't commit it..." And then it helped me stash that code, commit the code it created, and then go back to the original branch, unstash that stuff, commit it... And then now they're -- ... |
**Nathan Sobo:** \[01:00:13.28\] It's weird how fast we get used to living in the future. It's like so funny, huh? |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Well, thank you. |
**Nathan Sobo:** It is amazing... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Thank you for making this. This is amazing. |
