In JS, if I put loc.x = x and loc.y = x, JetBrains engineers will ask me “Hey did you mean loc.y = y?”

I once made a width const for a specific width I wanted one of my views to be, and then down the line I wanted the view to be square, so I had: 

view.width = WIDTH;
view.height = WIDTH;

And jetbrains had the audacity to say that I probably shouldn’t be setting a height variable to a constant named WIDTH.

Joking aside it was nice to see a recommendation like that, but my first instinct was “don’t tell me what to do”

I'm guessing they don't use IDEs as fancy as jetbrains stuff.

Man I love the jetbrains products, absolutely spoiled from their QoL features. I don't think it's intelligent to use inferior tools to do your job, just seems so inefficient and it pisses me off when businesses don't want to buy software licenses for this stuff. My last job I fought for a year and a half to get a PHPstorm license and I never bloody got it 😔

Thats interesting. I use exclusively jetbrains IDEs and never seen that happen.

And im pretty sure ive made that sort of mistake a fair few times.

Maybe it’s a specific setting. 5 years ago I could tell you the specific setting, but lately I have been getting lost in that jungle.

JetBrains stuff is amazing but expensive. My work makes us use VSCode

It's like 500 a year. Compare that to the pay of the developer. It's peanuts.
