often frowned uponPreviously I said local single-line code completion is the acceptable level of "AI" assistance for me and that JetBrains one was somewhat useful, only wrong half of the time, and easy to ignore when it is.I've changed my mind.See, I code primarily in TypeScript and Rust. Both of these languages have tooling that's really good at static analysis. I mean, in case of TS, static analysis is the whole product. It's slow, it requires a bunch of manual effort, but holy hell does it make life easier in the long run. Yes, it does take a whole minute to "compile" code to literally same code but with some bits removed. But it detects so many stupid mistakes as it does so, every day, it's amazing. Anyway, not the point.The other thing modern statically-typed languages have is editor integration. You know, the first letter in IDE. This means that, as you are typing your code and completions pop up, those completions are provided by the same code that makes sure your code is correct.Which means they are never wrong. Not "rarely". Not "except in edge cases". Zero percent of the time wrong.If I type a dot and start typing "thing" and see "doThing(A, B)", I know this is what I was looking for. I might ctrl-click it and read the docs to make sure, but I know "doThing" exists and it takes two arguments and i can put it in and maybe even run the code and see what it does. This is the coding assistance we actually need. Exact answers, where available.So, since I've enabled LLM completion a few months ago, I've noticed a couple of things. One: it's mostly useful when I'm doing some really basic boilerplate stuff. But if I wrote it often enough, I could find ways to automate that specific thing. It feels like this is saving me time, but it's probably seconds on a day.Two: I am not used to code completion being wrong. Like, I see a suggestion, I accept it mentally before I accept it in the dropdown. I'm committed to going there and thinking about next steps.And then it turns red because "doThing" is not, in fact, a method that exists.And I stop working and go write this post because I forgot what I was even doing in the first place already.I'm turning that shit off.<a href="https://loud.computer/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://loud.computer/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LLM</a> <a href="https://loud.computer/tags/VibeCoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VibeCoding</a> <a href="https://loud.computer/tags/CoPilot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CoPilot</a> <a href="https://loud.computer/tags/JetBrains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JetBrains</a>

Ben RamseyI really enjoyed the <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/PHPVerse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PHPVerse</a> event today.

github.com/ghostwriter<a href="https://phpc.social/tags/PHPverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PHPverse</a> is not a celebration of the PHP community, it's a carefully branded sales pitch.The lack of racial, gender, and technological diversity makes it clear: this isn’t a community event, it’s a marketing funnel, dominated by J******s staff and L*****l affiliates, disguised as one.A real community event should reflect the full spectrum of voices and tools that make PHP what it is, not just what sells licenses and subscriptions.<a href="https://phpc.social/tags/PHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PHP</a> <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/Laravel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Laravel</a> <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/JetBrains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JetBrains</a>

Larry GarfieldI like <a href="https://programming.dev/c/jetbrains" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@jetbrains</a> products, but why in the hell does CLion, which you'd use to work on php-src, not support phpt files, which you would only need to use if you're working on php-src? It instead tells you to use PHPStorm, which... doesn't support the C code that is php-src.This makes no sense to me at all.<a href="https://phpc.social/tags/JetBrains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JetBrains</a> <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/PHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PHP</a>

Hank G ☑️I'm sorry to say I may have to start giving up on IntelliJ. The bloat has gotten to Visual Studio proportions, especially on runtime resource usage. That's with disabling all the AI plugins to boot.

Ben RamseyI've not been this frustrated with a new version of PhpStorm in a long time. There are so many tiny, irksome issues, and they keep piling up. I've come to expect some rough patches each year when they release a new major version, but this time, it's really impacting my productivity and making me think about looking at alternatives. I can't be the only one experiencing these issues, and it's too cumbersome to stop what I'm doing to file support requests or bugs.<a href="https://phpc.social/tags/PhpStorm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PhpStorm</a> <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/JetBrains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JetBrains</a>

Ben RamseyIt turns out I had my PHP CodeSniffer settings set to "By default project interpreter," but I didn't have `phpcs` configured with the default project interpreter?I'm not sure how the UI was showing me code style warnings, based on my `phpcs.xml` file settings, but it was.When I added a `phpcs` configuration for "By default project interpreter," things began working as expected.<a href="https://phpc.social/tags/PHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PHP</a> <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/PhpStorm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PhpStorm</a> <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/JetBrains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JetBrains</a>

Ben RamseyIs it just me, or does PhpStorm 2025.1 have a bug where it's not running phpcbf when you select "PHP Code Beautifier and Fixer: fix the whole file?"It's getting very annoying, and I have checked and re-checked my settings a million times.<a href="https://phpc.social/tags/PHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PHP</a> <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/PhpStorm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PhpStorm</a> <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/JetBrains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JetBrains</a>

Andrew WoodsMost applications (e.g. Firefox) have a feature where if the application crashes, it’ll asks you “Would you like to send the crash report to $companyName?” What I'd like to know is: Does this really help the project?

Beady Belle FanchannelSo Rust Rover is pretty good, but you can feel that they struggle with the fact that Rust was not made by IDE-conscious language designers.e.g. inside proc-macros it’s the wild-west, anything goes so the IDE can barely help you (at least unless you have compiled once, it looks like they do best-effort mapping after).Also makes you realize how unergonomic the syntax really is in many places, kotlin is so much better.<a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/jetbrains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#jetbrains</a> <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rust</a>
