I began contributing in my free time, and it turned into an incredible opportunity for growth. Through the support they've given me, I've come to truly understand how much the Zed team values its community. When I think of open source, Zed is the first project that comes to mind. I'm grateful to them for fostering this culture so well.

Zed stands out because the team and community genuinely listen, support, and pair with you to bring ideas to life. Pairing in Zed is a one-of-a-kind experience that turns open source into something you build live with others. My decision to dive deep into Rust also started simply from how much I love Zed, and I’m grateful so much it has opened up for me as a developer.

Contributing to Zed has been an incredible journey, especially as I've focused on improving the Ruby developer experience through multiple extensions and language server integrations. As someone who uses Zed as my daily editor after years of Emacs, I've experienced firsthand how the team's collaborative approach and community enthusiasm make every contribution feel impactful.

Built with passion and used with passion. I love Zed because the community is amazing and keeps shaping the features people truly want.

I started contributing to Zed out of curiosity and a genuine love for Rust. Taking that plunge from user to contributor felt daunting at first, but it's been one of the most rewarding decisions I've made. The team made it easy, offered guidance when I needed it, and trusted me to own the Bedrock integration in a way that felt empowering rather than overwhelming. In open source, that kind of intentional community-building is genuinely rare.

What I love about contributing to Zed is that we're all passionate about different things that make an editor great. Share your vision, and the team helps make it reality. That support and commitment to building the best editor is what keeps me coming back.
