But cancelling IDE subscriptions? You need a proper IDE to along side AI augmented development unless you want to simply be along for the ride.


Well, you can resubscribe in an afternoon. The fired workers? No real recovery from that.


`git diff` is probably all you need.


Free VS Code is probably fine


I'm using the JetBrains IDE's and it's definitely worth paying for, even in the age of AI.


These are like $20-50 subs, you’re probably paying your dev a hell of a lot more. Let them use the tools they want. I spend almost all of my time in Emacs or Cursor, but I still haven’t found a database client that I like better than Datagrip.


A database client better than Datagrip is a tough one, yet I'm attempting to do just that [1] :).

I'm in month 4 of development, working on it full-time.
