JetBrains Users Listening to VSCode Enthusiasts

Description

A popular meme format showing a smug-looking man in a dark business suit with a striped tie, lighting a thick cigar with a flaming US dollar bill. The image has a caption in black text on a white background above it that reads: 'JetBrains users when people talk about their VSCode setup'. The visual punchline is the act of casually burning money, which implies that JetBrains users perceive their expensive, paid IDEs (like IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, etc.) as so superior that the cost is trivial compared to the perceived hassle and configuration required for the free alternative, VSCode. The meme humorously portrays JetBrains users as wealthy and dismissive, viewing the time spent customizing VSCode as a hidden cost that they are happy to pay to avoid. It taps into the long-running 'editor wars' and the developer culture debate over paid, all-in-one tools versus free, extensible editors

I expense the JetBrains license under “risk mitigation” - still cheaper than the engineering hours our VSCode power users burn yak-shaving their plugin loadout just to re-implement Alt-Enter

The real flex isn't the JetBrains subscription fee - it's having convinced your company to pay for the all-products pack while your VSCode colleagues are still waiting for their extension config to sync properly across machines

JetBrains users paying $200/year for an IDE that works perfectly out of the box, watching VSCode users spend 40 hours configuring their settings.json, installing 47 extensions, debugging LSP conflicts, and writing custom keybindings - only to still not have proper refactoring support. Sometimes the real productivity hack is just buying the tool that respects your time more than your wallet

JetBrains users when the VSCode setup tour starts: I fixed that with a purchase order - cheaper than an afternoon wrestling LSP and tsserver

JetBrains: License key in, refactor out. VSCode: Extensions in, weekend out

At senior rates, an IntelliJ license costs less than one afternoon resurrecting a mysteriously broken VSCode extension stack, so my settings.json is now called receipt.pdf

I've been using PyCharm & Datagrip for free for years, thanks to their student license and me still having my email in .edu
1. @Hermesiss 2y
  
  Same. Almost all their products have student licences
2. @Silkaridze 2y
  
  Same with RubyMine
3. @biskwiq 2y
  
  I've been using pirated just fine
@realVitShadyTV 2y

Actually I pay for yearly license same much as I hire per one hour of work.

WebStorm + Android Studio + Notepad++ - the first one buy my partner (I requested) - second I need to test on Android - third I just love
@KentoSenjo 2y

JetBrains is russian company😡
1. @domokrch 2y
  
  git
2. @KentoSenjo 2y
  
  The founders and key persons are Russians. It was also previously considered a russian-Czech company. Perhaps my words are immoral for you, but I do not feel any other emotions towards russians than hatred. Sorry for the trash.🙃
  
  @alexandr_guluta 2y
  
  lol straight up hating a nationality
  
  @KentoSenjo 2y
  
  And to kill people of another nationality and say that it did not exist, is it right?
  
  @alexandr_guluta 2y
  
  Nationality ≠ government and country
  
  @revocat 2y
  
  это не знак неравенства
  
  @feskow 2y
  
  почему нет? (why is it not the inequality sign)
  
  @alexandr_guluta 2y
  
  там != было // there was a "!=" sign
  
  dev_meme 2y
  
  Please, avoid usage of Russian
  
  dev_meme 2y
  
  Even if you didn’t started it you always can remind about rules here We’re international community using international means of communications
  
  @feskow 2y
  
  he understood that != meant inequality sign and still said this isn't inequality sign.
  
  @alexandr_guluta 2y
  
  idk, some people are like that
  
  dev_meme 2y
  
  we’re devs with memes here Who tf in this chat will not understand that != means inequality? This is a chat in telegram, not a LaTeX, lol
  
  @revocat 2y
  
  the only inequality sign is ≠
  
  @denis_klyuev 2y
  
  If you'd use jetbrains you would know that there ligatures in fonts and this is how your "!=" would be displayed in your code. Because it's just convenient to read your code like that
  
  @RiedleroD 2y
  
  I disagree, but you do you 🤷‍♂️ customization exists for a reason
  
  @denis_klyuev 2y
  
  Give it a shot, why not. You can always revert this setting
  
  @RiedleroD 2y
  
  I use kate, I don't think they have that feature
  
  @sylfn 2y
  
  Kate has ligatures support for fonts which support them
  
  @denis_klyuev 2y
  
  What's Kate? Any links to whatever this is?
  
  @RiedleroD 2y
  
  https://kate-editor.org/en-gb/
  
  @RiedleroD 2y
  
  true! I don't know of any fonts that do this though (and I fucking love libertinus sans, I will never switch)
  
  @sylfn 2y
  
  Cascadia Code JetBrains Mono as an example
  
  @RiedleroD 2y
  
  thanks. I don't like it
  
  @RiedleroD 2y
  
  this is cascadia btw, trying out jetbrains too in a sec…
  
  @RiedleroD 2y
  
  jetbrains looks pretty much the same
  
  @RiedleroD 2y
  
  they have a "NL" variant no, not netherlands, that's "no ligatures" 😝
  
  @KentoSenjo 2y
  
  I use the fira code font, I recommend it. https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/
  
  @SamsonovAnton 2y
  
  Ligatures like this are chaotic evil. 👿
  
  @sylfn 2y
  
  no, the "ff" one is
  
  @SamsonovAnton 2y
  
  Does it look like "A"?
  
  @sylfn 2y
  
  One character width, if it's what you've meant
  
  @ColonelPhantom 2y
  
  I really don't care too much either way tbh
  
  @revocat 2y
  
  lmao, bullshit
  
  @KentoSenjo 2y
  
  It's funny, the people choose the government. And we can also mention that a couple of million russians support the war, but for some reason, one hundred and forty million do not stop it.
  
  @feskow 2y
  
  is this the fucking politics chat or fucking devs with memes?
  
  @KentoSenjo 2y
  
  Сompany memes also have a political context. I'm sorry for the trash
  
  dev_meme 2y
  
  So far no one (or almost no one?) was banned for starting political discussion
  
  @RiedleroD 2y
  
  I think I sometimes muted people when they were being overly aggressive, even after repeated warnings
dev_meme 2y

Even though it wasn’t me who banned I have seen some experession of quite radical views and they were tolerated by other admins and I remember 0 cases of bans without warning prior to it
1. @KentoSenjo 2y
  
  Regarding this topic, different nations have hateful things that are related to other nations. As an example of the French who hate English. Therefore, sooner or later similar conflict situations will arise. Absolutely neutral content cannot be built.
  
  dev_meme 2y
  
  I do agree about non-existent neutral content That’s why we need freedom of speech and the rest of "who cares" things
  
  @KentoSenjo 2y
  
  Thank you)))
@ShiningFlames 2y

Works today also like a charm
