Rewriting in Rust

I would love it if jetbrains were to speed up IntelliJ. I started a new job writing Java professionally last year and, up that point, I had no idea that IDE's could actually be that slow.

My company gave me a brand new, beefy Macbook pro and that thing can barely handle IntelliJ sometimes...

Just use VS Code. Its Java support isn’t the best, but it’s good enough and the rest of the IDE makes up for it.

I feel like a lot of the love for IntelliJ is a sort of Stockholm Syndrome combined with relief at not using Eclipse.

But what about <some obscure feature that you use once in a blue moon and could’ve been achieved using some CLI faster than you could remember an IntelliJ shortcut for it>! It’s an IDE, not an editor!

What CLI can I use to extract an interface from a class?

open-code run "extract interface x from class y"

I’ve been using cursor mainly (so sorta vscode in a way). I just use IntelliJ for unit tests and the debugger mainly.
