    Semi-OT, but does anyone here know what exactly happened at JetBrains?

    Their IDEs have been nosediving for years now in a way usually reserved to "has been acquired by private equity". But they have not been acquired by private equity as far as I can tell.

    I'm writing this from my laptop, where each keypress in a .md file in WebStorm makes the fan spin up (not hyperbole).

    What happened, JetBrains?

      The previous CEO has lost the business and wasn’t able to deliver any new products. He was replaced together with executive suite few years ago. As for me they are now even more clueless than before and don’t have any strategy, and very few of us are still excited about JB future.
