I'd love it if jetbrains worked on getting intellij to not hog so much resource and become unresponsive working on huge projects instead.

They should use the LLM to do the refactoring for them.

Only half joking, though. Dogfooding is big at the place I work at and they should do it too.

Maybe they need to gradually refactor/replace components in something other than a JVM language. And not Electron (JS) either. ;o)

It’s a huge org. Pretty sure they can chew gum and walk down the sidewalk at the same time.

having been a customer for more than a decade, I've noticed an inverse correlation between their org size and the quality of their products

Having worked across startups and international consulting companies, usually there is a direct correlation between org size and use of cheaper less skilled offshoring development teams.
