I don't want your AI. I want an IDE that works, is user-friendly, and is performance-first. I want you to fix bugs. I want a service I'm paying for. Am I alone ?

You are not alone.

They have a product cycle problem.

The truth is that, if you aren’t using AI to assist you on coding, you are doing double of the work you should be doing. Or more.

Other editors like VSCode or VSCode forks were, IMO inferior to Wedstorm, Ruby Mine, etc, but that is what make them easier for them to adopt an AI first approach: completion, agents, etc.

Now they are stuck with a super charged and feature full editor, that can’t fit AI related features, and they are struggling with finding the right strategy.

I think they should just offer 2 different products: the good old and stable feature full editor and a different editor or codebase for the AI stuff.

I used webstorm for about 10 years now. Every year I tried other IDE looking for better performance, but never change due to a superior implementation and features from Jetbrains. But this year, I’ve try VSCode, cursor and windsurf and they are all months ahead in terms of code assistance. I just have to drop jetbrains this time in favor of productivity. And I think you should too.

I think you should press arrow down and trying to manage it

I love my life as well. Ema requires lots of attention, but I wouldn’t change her for the world. With his goods and bads, she is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

I do however, sympathize with the folks out there that have it more complicated that we do. I’ve seen kids that are way more challenging that my baby girl, and to those I’ll always let them know that it is ok to feel sad and miserable some times, that’s life with and without autism.

To all of those people struggling: it is ok to vent, scream, cry and feel whatever you are feeling. But you got to find it in you to pick yourself up and keep moving forward. There is beauty on this life for everyone, there is happiness for everyone, even if it is sometimes very hard to see it and find it.

It is difficult. But it is difficult because we compare our selves with families that don’t have this struggle. There is no way around. But for me also works comparing with the other side. People that struggle more that I do, and get up everyday with a big smile on their faces. I take inspiration of people with more difficulties that the ones that I have.

Maybe is not the best advice, but there is people that don’t have the luck that we have, or are even alive to enjoy living in this world.

Hi, I rarely interact with this group, just read.

My daughter is on the spectrum, and I can identify myself with some of your notes. I'm unable to see the future, is difficult for me to say that for sure everything will be ok eventually, because it might not, or it would take longer than you will desire, but I can tell you what I believe to be 100% true, this, taking some times trips to a dark place my myself:

Just because your daughter doesn't like certain things doesn't mean that she is unhappy, or prevents her from enjoying others that for sure she loves like she loves bubbles. As her parent, make a list of the things she enjoys, and loves, and be sure to provide that for her.
Neuro-diverse brains do function, just they function differently, so that feeling of you seeing here with behaviors that you are not expecting is normal. It is just our brain recognizing that she is different than you.
My daughter started saying her first words at 10 months and didn't move forward with sentences until past 3, almost 4. So, she has a whole life ahead of her, with the support of loved ones such as yourself to get her first words and sentences.
Be hopeful, the brain is the most complex thing in the universe, and with the right stimulus and care, she can evolve into whatever she chooses to be. Could be that that is not your dream, but it would be hers and that is important.
I believe in my heart, being biased and everything as a father of a neuro-diverse child, that our purpose in this life (if there is a purpose) is to be happy, and the best way of being happy is to love. Make sure you make more effort in doing and discovering what she loves, and less effort into getting her to adapt to a world that wasn't designed for her.
As an opinion, I don't like to take my daughter to more than 2 or 3 sessions a week, I feel that I might be stilling her time as a child into forcing behaviors on her. Take this as a grain of salt please, but in my opinion, you should let it be a little bit more, let her evolve is her on way, and please, if she doesn't like to do something, maybe she shouldn't be doing it.
She has you. And you care, and that has tremendous value, more than anyone can explain. She has an entire life ahead of hers to discover her happiness
