HN deserve better content than this, while the topic is interesting there are too much errors, unadjusted logical quantifiers and omissions to make this biased writing worth a read.
- jart 6y agoIt's also posted by some anonymous throwaway account that was registered on GitHub three days ago. JetBrains deserves more respect than this. They're not threatened. They're a rising star. They're making tons of money when the rest of the industry thought there wasn't any money to be had in tools anymore. I love them because speaking as a long time Emacs user, JetBrains makes the only IDEs I've seen that simulates Emacs well enough that I can feel comfortable using it. Java is a real pleasure to work with thanks to them and I don't see that changing anytime soon. If they had support for make and assembler then I'd use it while working on cosmopolitan libc too.

- st3fan 6y ago> They're a rising star. They're making tons of money when the rest of the industry thought there wasn't any money to be had in tools anymore. I think this is key - WHO knew that you could build out a billion dollar business from developer tools.

- The_rationalist 6y agoSure asking for better epistemological quality should be disincentivized.. Do you realize the distopy you imply?
