Yeah, I don't think their attempt to coin a word there is going to work.

Agreed. Regina George might have something to say about it, too.

I have loved JetBrains ever since I entered their ecosystem for the End of the World Sale in 2012. As a professional developer, I need my tools to work for me and not against me. That is why I pay for these tools and I appreciate JetBrains' consistent iteration on making them even better.

I do have a few gripes though. I wish the performance was better on my current setup on my M2 MBP. It is an awful experience when tools get in your way and break your flow. The file sync to MacOS is fairly laggy and new files that are created can take seconds to appear. UI interactions can be laggy. Sometimes invoking the context sensitive intentions/actions is blocking where it will hang for seconds. I need to keep my movements fluid to keep my train of thoughts on the track and not be derailed by my ADD.

I also would like a plug-in system that wasn't entirely on Kotlin, Groovy and Java. I did Groovy dev in a past life but it's painful for me today. Thankfully ChatGPT gets me most of the way there. I wish there were JS/TS bindings to build upon.

Overall, I'm pleased with JetBrains. I appreciate their content they put out on YouTube to further empower the developers that use their products with knowledge and guidance of efficiencies. I'll continue using it as my core IDE for the foreseeable future. I have augmented my flow with a bit of Cursor but JetBrains is the bread and butter.

The real gem on this site is the Make Pipe Minis! What a great way to prototype your idea before committing to the real build.

edit: I did not even see when I posted this that they had made this open source with the downloadable STL to print your own connectors. Great move on them!

Congrats and keep going! I ultimately failed at mine because I didn't keep disciplined focus on it when life got in the way. It was many lessons learnt.

To those concerned about the analytics like myself, you should be able to turn it off by setting the default here to false. Otherwise you'd need to toggle it off in the settings, which gives ample time for telemetry to fire.

This is beautiful. What warm memories this evokes. Now I can adjust the dimensions and make some dust covers for my books in the Blockbuster video style!
blorenz commented on Show HN: See the impact on your cloud costs as you code    · Posted by u/rumno0
blorenz · a year ago
I just installed to test this out and my cost isn't being calculated at all. I took a ekctl yml file and had chatGPT convert it to a terraform file; the terraform file validates; but nothing is discovered by Infracost plugin. I have it off my <project root>/deploy/terraform/. I wish there was some more feedback from the plugin why it cannot locate or visualize my cost.

Discriminated unions are also a wonderful part of the zod library. I use them to overload endpoints for multiple relevant operations.

Congrats on making a product! I've been using Qbserve for a decade with a one-time price (and it looks to still be just $29). Things that I love about it:

- No connection needed. - Ability to categorize my time by project - Adding Rules to categorize by page url pattern, document path, or window title. - Exporting the data from the local sqlite. - Ability to annotate the timelines and attribute it to specific projects. This is useful when navigating off my Rules while I'm working a project. - High level summaries of my time. - Ability to bucket (or discard) my time AFK. Useful if it was a client call.

Good luck on your product! I'm sure you can bring additional innovations to the space.
