Same. I use VSCode at work, because we need some of the features that are premium in Jetbrains products and the licenses are too expensive for my company.

If your work can’t afford less than $20/seat/month for business-critical software, I’d start looking for a new job because your paychecks are about to dry up, anyway.

Is it business critical if it can be done elsewhere for cheaper/free?

[–] dadabean@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's the reasoning they have. It works with VSCode. Ish.

Funny how such companies don't care that employees would be more effective with better tools and those license prices would result in way over $20/month profit. 🤷‍♂️

Tell your boss that it's even more expensive to have your foot up his ass. And tell it like Red Foreman

I like the approach

Core development tools licenses are too expensive? That's an odd company or from a very low standard country?
