i don't use this one you use, i tried it but it seemed too aggressive and prone to missing out things, and it doesn't make tests or check stuff properly, maybe if you tell it to, but not by default

jetbrains junie does. i only have to rein it in when i haven't given it sufficient scope limits

also, i advise being careful to not have it make big changes that cut across multiple scopes, because it becomes very difficult to roll back changes. commit when it does the new thing properly, then you can just stash or dump the changes

I might need to switch. It's turning into an unwieldy monster. Gets worse, with each update.

like the majority of development toolchains

jetbrains main customer base is java and go devs, and those two languages have sane policies on feature creep. go is the best of course.

btw, for 20 eur/month you get practically unlimited LLM queries for junie and the ai assistant, on the AI ultimate plan. i'm finding that it's more than sufficient. i also use a local LLM for the AI assistant, because i've been finding that Qwen 3 14B is more than adequate for writing documents and commit comments. but you need a decent video card for that, mine is probably about $400 current market value, RX 7800 XT. plays games nice too, though for new games mostly i stick to FHD, a lot of older games it can do 2k or 4k smoothly over 80fps
