They don't care.

It is of course sluggish to index large projects, but it's equally slow on my brand new Ryzen system. Otherwise it's completely fine. It was my main daily driver dev machine until 2024.

JetBrains is simply not interested in power users and professionals anymore, and seem to be utterly unaware that that's their core customer base.

I canceled my all-products subscription after more than ten years and I'll be using 2024 versions until the wheels fall off.

Notionally a password manager is more secure, but is there anything stopping Bitwarden from updating the app to silently send your master password up to the mothership and selling your unencrypted vault? Even supposing they stay open source and get caught, they will still have thousands of user's data ready to sell before the rug is pulled and the game collapses.

(And besides, where do you keep your recovery codes? If some cabinet or drawer in your house is safe enough for that, it's safe enough for your book of passwords.)

"I like it this way because it's always been this way and once you change your entire email workflow and customize your email client, it's almost as good as PHPbb"

Forums are built for threads and are immediately visible and accessible for everyone, not just people who want to spend their limited time dicking with email clients.

Mailing lists are the proto-discord: knowledge locked away from the public behind a special frontend and elitist attitudes. It's only better because the list is technically visible, but only in the worst, most low-effort way possible. You dump a raw txt copy of the entire thread unstructured onto the user and make it their problem to figure out. After all, your email client makes it easy to read, so why should you care about what anyone else needs?

Humans are intrinsically irrational. That is a plain and simple fact. Humans operate exclusively on what they think is true instead of what is objective fact. Subjectively an individual human acts in ways that are roughly rational and coherent within their belief system and world view. The problem is that this frame of reference is entirely subjective and is only tangentially related to consensus objective reality. Assuming that you can apply your own reasoning and logic to all other humans is fallacy.

You must accept the fact that other people do not share your world view and will not act with what you, personally deem to be rationality.

Facts don't matter, only what the person making the hiring decision believes to be true, or has been fed.

College grads are angry because their job prospects are bad due to AI hysteria. It has nothing to do with how good AI is, the hysteria is what is causing problems.
