Multi-player Coding with Nathan Sobo

Apr 17, 2023 by SED

Code editors are complex and demanding pieces of software that are both essential tools and constant companions for developers. Today, we are interviewing Nathan Sobo to hear about Zed, a code editor focused on “multiplayer” experiences, performance and a streamlined, minimalist design.

Nathan Sobo was a member of the Atom editor team at GitHub, which worked on the (now-deprecated) Atom code editor. He will share his thoughts on Rust, the impact of very low-latency collaborative coding on happiness, and how to turn an authoring environment into a first-class concern.

Starting her career as a software developer, Jocelyn Houle is now a Senior Director of Product Management at Securiti.ai, a unified data protection and governance platform. Before that, she was an Operating Partner at Capital One Ventures investing in data and AI startups.

Another Monday morning. Sprint stand-up. Your next task is … drumroll… building an app integration. RIP. Excited to spend the next month getting your hands on developer API keys, fiddling with Oauth, testing SOAP requests, and debugging a poorly documented API? We didn’t think so either.
Now, what if there were an easier way?
Meet Merge: a Unified API for B2B apps. Instead of building lots of integrations to widely varying APIs, you can integrate with a single API and support any integration your customers want. Think of Merge as a universal translator, a Roseta Stone for APIs. Merge returns normalized data across 100s of integrations, all synced continuously, and available in REST API. No SOAP or web scraping required.
Engineering teams at Ramp, TripActions, and Drata use Merge to build dozens of integrations in weeks, speed up time to market, and make their customers happy.
