“Everyone's in a race to replace GitHub": Zed launches Delta because agents made pull requests obsolete
Zed launches Delta, a multiplayer coding environment designed around agent-first workflows that replaces GitHub's pull-request model with shared conversation threads. The shift reflects a broader industry bet that traditional code review is incompatible with high-volume AI-generated changes, and that the real bottleneck has moved from authorship to collaborative verification and deployment.

Introducing Delta Zed Blog
Pippa and Tyler dig into Delta, Zed's new private-beta multiplayer environment for agentic coding. They focus on its unusual core: DeltaDB keeps conversations and evolving worktrees synchronized alongside ordinary Git, making review, handoffs, cloud runs, and browser participation part of one shared thread.

Debunking 8 Data Layout Myths: Why Liquid Clustering Outperforms Partitioning
Justy and Cody dig into Databricks arguing that Liquid Clustering beats old-school partitioning for modern lakehouse tables. Cody buys some of the technical case, especially the point that modern formats prune from table metadata rather than folder paths, but he pushes on how much of the evidence is vendor-controlled and how broadly the claims travel outside Delta-heavy setups. Justy leans into who should care: teams with shifting query patterns, painful repartitioning, small-file messes, or mixed batch and real-time workloads. They land on a pretty practical verdict: this is less a universal law than a strong sign that manual partition design is becoming a tax many teams no longer need to pay.
