Stunning how my mate vscode users have much better start using AI in IDE, than me working in @WebStormIDE. Stuck in configs, unclear plugin choices, SSO...
AI Assistant is such a misnomer.
Does @googlephotos have to suck so much?
You see a photo in search results but you won't see which albums it is a member of.
You search for an album, and it is not there, but when you create a new one with a similar name, suddenly it shows up as an existing one...
Me: (files a feature request to improve idiotic X because hates to use workaround Y).

Pure wonder by @logitech attached to mouse pad "DESK MAT" (70x30):
"

Best thing that has happened recently in Idea/WebStorm was sadly not bug fixes or functionality improvements (esp Git seems to have been neglected), but... the "islands" theme style - which allows authoring of dark themes with clearly visible area demarcations.
Finder right-click - years go by and there's still no command to quickly create a txt file; need to make a custom one via Automator - then it pops in nested to the Quick Actions submenu
