Obviously the narrative will be AI CLI impact but the quality of IntelliJ has taken such a nose dive that I was already looking for alternatives before Claude Code took over the world. IJ used to be one of my most respected pieces of software, it was solid, performant, and the new features were generally thoughtful and well done. That started changing around 2022 and the IDE has been driving the wrong way down a one way street since.

> no one is going to be willing to make the massive investments necessary to continue pushing the scale frontier.

that sounds great to me. anything that slows down the pace and gives us a chance to prepare for, at best, massive job displacement, and at worst, robots turning us all into paperclips.

It is more impactful to me to instead think of it like this: Elon Musk's net worth is roughly 1 million times the median American's. So Elon "earned" as much as the combined life savings of a city roughly the size of Houston or Phoenix.
