OK, I love #jetbrains and the PHPStorm IDE but the feedback I read for early #junie users is so-so... and at this point as an experienced dev I'm a bit on the edge - keep using the deveveloper-driven workflow with the IDE or use #windsurf / #cursor where it's becoming more like a "dev/architect"work to dictate the AI what to code... As far as I hear, the gains from the 2nd flow are up to triple as performance... I guess there is place for both? What do you think, guys?

so I joined this new gig, code is a f* mess, Gova (#Go #GoLang ala #Java) all over, all good, we can refactor and such, but, man, I cannot use #JetBrains IDEs, for some reason seems like I need to get the death pope’s permission to, first, get a license and second, that they let ne use it, worst than that, I cannot use my own license cause is “personal”, worst than that, they force me to use #vscode, 🙃🔫

What does your local #LLM setup for software #development look like? I am on a M4 Pro MacBook with 24GB RAM. I can only use local LLMs with #Ollama or #LMStudio running with either #JetBrains #AI (but they do not support local LLMs for code completion) or the continue plugin.

At the moment I use qwen2.5-coder:7b with 4bit quantization for autocompletion, Phi4 or Llama3.1 8B for chatting and nomic-embed-text for embedding. Suggestions? :mastodon:

What's going on with recent versions of #PyCharm?

#JetBrains has managed to screw up their requirements.txt implementation quite badly. This is a fundamental feature - how could they ship something so broken????

First, the virtualenv would be built with the latest versions of all the packages and not the specified pinned versions in requirements.txt! An absolutely fundamental feature completely broken.

Second, for #Django development, I use the psycopg binary using the standard “psycopg[binary]==3.2.3” and PyCharm doesn't install the requested binary.

Thirdly, and not so important, but a nice lost feature - PyCharm used to flag out-of-date packages in requirements.txt in a nice, obvious manner. No longer!
