I find our community's take on paying for IDEs interesting. We're now willing to pay 20, 100, 200 USD a month for AI subscriptions, but wince at paying that for IDEs that clearly add value and also save time. I'm also frugal, but Jetbrain IDEs have been easily one of the best investments I've made for dev tools.
- reactordev 1y agoAgreed. We used to balk at $300/yr subscription but here we are forking over almost that much a month. Granted, I’m more diverse with AI than without it but still. I’m with you, best subscription I ever made.
- echelon 1y agoI was puzzled by that at first, but I think it makes sense if you think about it this way: we made the IDE work (including all the magical AST transformations), but the AI does work on our behalf.
- zdragnar 1y agoPaying for an IDE is fine. Letting them train their AI on your code isn't. I don't have the rights to give access to third parties. What I'm working on isn't even anything special, but that doesn't change the fact that I don't have permission to give JB access to it. Edit: I misread the non-commercial bit. Regardless, I making it opt-in by default is scummy, imho.
- tehbeard 1y agoHow much do you trust them to keep it to "just" non-commercial though...
