Zed opened private beta on August 12 (585 points on HN) for a multiplayer app built on DeltaDB, a version control system recording fine-grained deltas with stable identities rather than snapshots. Every change links bidirectionally to the agent conversation that produced it, and it stays Git-compatible so teammates see a normal repo. The thesis: Git permanently discards the multi-turn reasoning that now produces most code, so the PR is the wrong review unit. I'm skeptical that a new VCS wins on merit alone, but the argument about what Git throws away is correct.
