I've been so impressed with @zed.dev as my daily driver these days! It's fast, clean, and gets out the way when I need. It's much lighter on my Mac's memory than VSCode. A great open-source solution!

Podcasters, what are some of the biggest challenges you face in your #podcast production workflow?
I've been working on a #PodOps solution that solves some of @nathanwrigley.com's specific friction points. I'd love to hear others' challenges when producing a podcast.

It looks like someone is scraping the #WCEU attendee page and reaching out via email trying to sell info. Just a reminder, the WCEU team did not and will NEVER share any attendee info with third parties. If you get an email, it’s a scam. Don't engage and stay safe.
