JetBrains

I always preferred to use JetBrains IDEs, but the new ai-slop splash screen annoyed me and made me question weather should I continue using their products or not.

I dont know when they started using AI for art, but the new AI splash screen is disgusting, the previous code-generated splash screens made up of simple geometry shapes looked much better.

What options do I have now?

VScodium is good, but python support wasnt as good as VScode last time I used it, because official extensions didnt work. But flutter works well, so maybe VScodium?
😢

Using #Python for #AI but not involved in the community? You're leaving a lot on the table! Watch the PSF's Executive Director @baconandcoconut on #PyTV from @jetbrains to explore why community participation is at the core of Python's power. 🎤🐍 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkN7P4Cmto8

@jetbrains is sunsetting the feature I use every day! Code-with-me will be removed, the way to do pair programming for remote teams.

Why does jetbrains keep pushing me away? First forcing their AI, now end of code-with-me. I need to look for an alternative replacement. #php #pairprogramming #remote #ide

I like @jetbrains products. They're not without issues, but on the whole, good enough and powerful enough to make my life simpler while coding.

Just installed the EAP for WebStorm & PhpStorm and wondered WTF was going on with the delayed caret movement.. they've decided to waste time and resources adding a 'smooth caret movement' that essentially just adds lag. WTaF would any serious developer want to deliberately add lag to their caret!? Weird direction lately with shitty "fluffy" aesthetics.

@jetbrains fixed the dark theme and now the navigation bar is not broken when it is placed "TOP". 10x a lot to caring for my OCD :)

Having codex gpt 5.2 oneshotting a jest to vitest migration because it's free with @jetbrains right now.
It's pulled out every scripting language under the sun (I counted node, bash, python, ruby & perl) to do string replacements but the initial result is eerily quite good...?

It's that time again: we're kicking off the latest Python Developers Survey in partnership with @jetbrains! Contribute to the understanding of the Python community and join in the 2026 survey 🐍📝 #python #pythondevsurvey

I wrote my thesis on Refactoring (Java) in 2001 shortly after @mfowler book came out. One of the three tools was IntelliJ Renamer before there was even an IDE(A).

Ever since I stayed close to my friends at @jetbrains (including their dev academy) and their amazing tools having used IDEA for 25 years now.

Happy birthday #IntelliJIDEA 🎂

This neverending asking for a valid license is really annoying. Why don't you cache this shit?
@jetbrains

Another year of support from #JetBrains providing a free licence for their IDE suite. They have supported the project for 6 years now.

#phpstorm and #pycharm have changed the way I work and made my life a lot easier.

Thanks again for supporting free software @jetbrains

"Track AI adoption". FU very much, @jetbrains - sounds like the "Copilotcrapping down your throat" approach.

Here's the repo:

https://github.com/RonSijm/RonSijm.Rider.Templater

I've tried to implement most of the original Templater functionality. The basic functionality works, some more advanced scripting language related things are still a bit 'work in progress'

A bit conflicted about this, 'cause I'm not a big fan of #aiassisted coding...

Anyways, the new "Review Solution with AI" action in @jetbrains #RustRover is pretty slick! It's very convenient to have a quick way to check if my #Rust code is idiomatic or could be otherwise improved.
