Greeted by this damn “RustRover goes AI” modal this morning.

As LLMs are soooo goood, there’s only a single, “Let’s go”, button. To not “Go” you need to close the window.

Nice work JetBrains, dark patterns are always a display of great self confidence.
I’ve been a license holder for years, this might be the last straw.

@edmcbane Ever since they turned the free Rust intellij Idea plugin into this Paid IDE, I've been using Zed to develop in Rust as a protest.

@hristogochev @edmcbane

doesn't zed also have a slop-first approach?

Show threadhristogochevFeb 15
@guenther @edmcbane Yes but you can easily disable it all.

@guenther @hristogochev @edmcbane zed was very up front about it. The dark UX pattern is the really nasty bit here.
I'd very much prefer no LLM, but until the bubble bursts, I prefer honesty about it. And a single toggle to disable it all.

@borup @guenther @hristogochev I believe LLMs are an extremely net negative for society at large, so yeah, dark patterns are the main issues here, but I might look at neovim rather than zed myself

@edmcbane And, of course, tucked away at the end, the casual mention of "free" access to the "pro" version for thirty days, meaning "we hope that you get sufficiently hooked on this to actually pay the absurd cost of it".

@edmcbane @pmmeurcatpics After giving up on IDEs that tried to get me to use LLMs, I’ve done several Rust projects with Neovim and have been happy with it. I started with this guide: https://lazyvim-ambitious-devs.phillips.codes/
LazyVim for Ambitious Developers

A comprehensive tutorial on the LazyVim distribution for Neovim, ideal for developers who want to reach the next level of productivity.
