Giving a Coding Agent Memory: First Figure Out Which Layer It Lives In

Google Play Registration: Your Address Has to Match Your ID

Completion is guesswork, go-to-definition is luck, and you do not dare press rename. On October 15, JetBrains turned the Java and Kotlin engine from IntelliJ IDEA into a language server extension and shipped 1.0, installable in VS Code, Cursor, and Google Antigravity.
Don't Leak Keys, Don't Blow the Context: dsh alpha.3 Hands-On
