  • The core is open source for some of their editors, WebStorm is not for example. Some frameworks and tools are only supported in the paid edition, and I missed then within the first hour of using the community version.

    vim and VS Code are not alternatives as they are not IDEs, just editors. Especially for vs code, it manages to barely do half of what IntelliJ does while being slower and hogging way more memory (this is before extensions). I also do TDD and when I pair up with my coworkers sometimes we are not able to find equivalent features that make my development easier. And don’t even get me started with a debugger, in vs code it manages to take up more space while giving less information and options. It’s simply inferior.

    I’ve tried and tried to create an IDE equivalent setup in vim and emacs but it was always “off”, I was stuck for hours and days trying to set up functionalities that work out of the box in IntelliJ, and after some months I just gave up.














  • it is not genetic, it is environmental. Children of parents with less intelligence will not be raised to be intelligent. They might be lucky/resilience and try to get the most support outside the house, but it is much harder to accomplish, and often is even met with harassment at home, due to the rest of the family being insecure about their own lack of intelligence. And that is only if they rebel, which is not necessarily true as they will not only lack easy access to basic knowledge about the world/science, but will also not be introduced to the importance of learning about it from their closest figures of authority. Escaping that cycle it is even harder if the family is facing economic hardship, which is true for most modern families in general. It really isn’t that hard to figure that out, the kneejerk reaction that the statement always gets is annoying.
