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

https://blog.jetbrains.com/platform/2026/03/sunsetting-code-with-me/

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

This is exactly the reason why "but you can disable the AI features easily" isn't a valid argument. They moved resources from features that people want to focus on AI bullshit.

I simply canceled my subscription after many years and will be staying on the perpetual fallbavk license of a version before they gave in to the AI craze.

It's a shame, but itdoes save some money.

@jaapio @jetbrains Oh no, that was the next thing I was going to propose to my team so we can pair better.

@afilina @jaapio @jetbrains

Just wondering why the feature is not made available as an open source plugin and let the community take over…

This is a bit bizarre, surely it's a basically finished product. Shame they won't just opensource the plugin and relay.

Oh jetbrains... They merged that commit dialog into the sidebar to look like VS code, a move hated BT nearly everybody, and now this.

People use jetbrains because it's not VS code but they are hellbent on making a clone just in Java. Not the best move.

Very disappointing. It would be nice for them to release even just the server binary so we can self host the handshake/peering/relay part... I guess I'll have to check out their "Remote Development" plugin/tools to see how exactly they differ. Maybe it's time to try decompiling the CodeWithMe plugin when they release it to prepare for the full sunset of the tool?
