The better coding agents get, the more the IDE matters — not for writing code, but for verifying what the agent wrote before you ship. What is an IDE when you aren't writing the code by hand? Here's @isaacrlevin.com 's take: https://jb.gg/why-we-need-ides-bsk

JetBrains IDE intelligence made coding agents 20%–30% more efficient. Netflix gave AI agents JetBrains IDE intelligence, ran headless, and measured typical gains on real Java and Kotlin tasks, with no drop in correctness. Read the full case study results: https://jb.gg/netflix_ide

An agent writes the code now. Do you still need an IDE? You do if you want to understand and verify what the agent did. "Almost right" doesn't cut it in the real world. Let’s talk about what an IDE becomes when humans aren't the only ones working on the code: https://youtu.be/AHFGMkzrfwM
