The space between the Commits with Zed and DeltaDB's Nathan Sobo

from Hanselminutes with Scott Hanselman · host Scott Hanselman

Scott talks with Nathan Sobo, CEO and co-founder of Zed, about what comes after the traditional code editor. They start with Zed’s vision for a fast, collaborative, AI-native development environment, then go deeper on DeltaDB: a new approach to versioning software at the operation level, not just at the commit level. Nathan explains why so much important software work happens “between commits,” how agent conversations and code changes can become durable shared artifacts, and what it might mean for Git, collaboration, and the future of programming tools. Nathan previously helped build Atom at GitHub, and Zed describes DeltaDB as operation-level version control for human and AI collaboration. https://zed.dev/deltadb
