   I’ll try this out but after over a decade as a paid JetBrains customer I’ve been looking at the door. I still love their IDE and moving around the code in it but the IDE uses way too many resources. Even with me excluding the worktrees folder it gets stuck indexing/processing when I spin up new worktrees to the point that I’ve found myself killing IDEA regularly to regain system resources. 99% of my work happens in the terminal now and JetBrains has been very slow to adapt. If I get one more “can’t checkout branch, it’s checked out in a worktree” error I’m going to lose my mind, give me an auto-heal option or something. This is how work is done, don’t make me leave your IDE to fix it myself on the cli.

   I’ll try out Air but I don’t have high hopes, my current workflows work great and I’m still not sold on what Air offers even after reading this post and the page about Air.

      Nevermind, Air is DOA: "Authentication with Claude Pro/Max/Team plans is not permitted by Anthropic’s Terms of Service" - Sorry, but unless you can use a subscription then I can't afford to use your tool. I understand the ToS, I wish it was more open, but the reality is that API pricing is way too high and a subscription is all that makes sense currently.
