@jetbrains is sunsetting the feature I use every day! Code-with-me will be removed, the way to do pair programming for remote teams. https://blog.jetbrains.com/platform/2026/03/sunsetting-code-with-me/ Why does jetbrains keep pushing me away? First forcing their AI, now end of code-with-me. I need to look for an alternative replacement. #php #pairprogramming #remote #ide

    @jaapio@phpc.social @jetbrains Oh no, that was the next thing I was going to propose to my team so we can pair better.

    Very disappointing. It would be nice for them to release even just the server binary so we can self host the handshake/peering/relay part… I guess I’ll have to check out their “Remote Development” plugin/tools to see how exactly they differ. Maybe it’s time to try decompiling the CodeWithMe plugin when they release it to prepare for the full sunset of the tool?

  • Oh jetbrains… They merged that commit dialog into the sidebar to look like VS code, a move hated BT nearly everybody, and now this. People use jetbrains because it’s not VS code but they are hellbent on making a clone just in Java. Not the best move.

    This is a bit bizarre, surely it’s a basically finished product. Shame they won’t just opensource the plugin and relay.

    This is exactly the reason why “but you can disable the AI features easily” isn’t a valid argument. They moved resources from features that people want to focus on AI bullshit. I simply canceled my subscription after many years and will be staying on the perpetual fallbavk license of a version before they gave in to the AI craze. It’s a shame, but itdoes save some money.

    @jaapio@phpc.social VS Code worked quite good for me back then.

    @jaapio@phpc.social JetBrains has made me really sad with a lot of their choices. The blatant disregard to DX when it comes to implementing Dev Containers has been one of my biggest gripes. I don't want to use VS Code. If I wanted to configure my own text editor and install plugins, I would use Vim.
