During the peak of his fame I always thought this was a money laundering scheme from Musk. Only recently I've learned about the (not so much) theory that it was all an effort to screw with high speed train.
That's why those who "jUsT pAy PReMiUm" are at fault. These companies are just pushing the line to see what sticks, and you're perpetuating it by paying
I was a hardcore emacs user for 9 or so years, then moved on to Jetbrains' editors, even paying for them, now I'm trying to move into neovim and loving it (only for non-work stuff for now).
Jetbrains editors have been great for me, stable and feature rich, specially in terms of debugging. The only problem I have is that they are quite the consumers of resources and power.
I used vscode for a while and what I found is that even though it consumes fewer resources than Jetbrains it also has way fewer features and fails more often. You can't do much customization or error handling besides setting some obscure json variable and good luck.
Now with neovim (and emacs) you can customize it endlessly (which is something I want) and have almost no resources used. The "drawback" is that you need more plugins working in conjunction to get the same features you'd get in the previous editors. Now, beware that things will fail sometimes for sure but you're in a position that can fully try to fix them, but will take time.
I had this happen with a mid level guy (who thought he was a senior) with a cowboy attitude towards code. After many attempts to reason with him, I revoked his permission to touch the main branch and stopped reviewing his code until he started behaving. He left soon after.
In your case with a senior I'd escalate the situation to management.
My first thought exactly when I read the question. It's just another point of failure for the phone, using people's nostalgia for something that never was that great anyway
I really hope it burns to the ground. One of the most toxic dev "forums" I've seen. I made a point of never clicking their site when looking for answers even if it took me longer.
Depending on the points I can see it with education and even with things like chatgpt, but IDEs? Ah this is a new one. How do IDEs just fill code for programmers? What's next? programmers use chairs that are too comfortable nowadays?
IDEs have boosted significantly programmers productivity.
It's shameful that this individual keeps talking about making a better world for humanity and then he pushes for things like this. I always thought it was some scheme to launder money...
That's a good thing. Keep the fediverae alive without overemcumbering servers. That's what's so strong about it, we can keep growing without too much costs.
