Ship Every Day
Zed ships daily. So do we. What it means to move fast as a small team and why consistency beats size.
Ship Every Day
My favorite editor is Zed because it’s fast. And the reason it’s fast? A team of amazing people working on it every day.
Sure, getting interrupted mid-flow to restart your editor is annoying. But you know what it really means? Someone is building. Right now. Even on weekends.
Every time I open Zed, there’s an update. At some point they probably heard “chill with the updates” — and they batched them into a more reasonable pace. But make no mistake: they still ship every single day. That’s why it’s so good.
Small Team, Big Output
At Dakic, we’re much smaller. But we punch above our weight — see for yourself.
I’ve shipped consistently every day for the last 2+ years. Even on weekends sometimes (which I oppose in principle, for the record).
Why It Matters
Shipping every day isn’t about hustle culture. It’s about:
- Momentum — small wins compound
- Trust — people see progress, not promises
- Learning — you can’t learn from what you haven’t shipped
You don’t need a big team to ship every day. You need discipline, a clear direction, and the habit of finishing things.
Can you skip a day? Sure. Life happens. But consistency is what separates the people who talk about building from the ones who actually build. Miss one day, fine. Miss two, you start losing momentum. Miss a week, you’ve got a hobby — not a product.
Ship. Learn. Repeat.
