http://idea-log.blogspot.com/2007/04/intellij-idea-is-best-html-editor-in.html
Ideas and opinions from a programmer at JetBrains. Friday, April 06, 2007. IntelliJ IDEA is the "best HTML editor in the world". Patrick Lightbody calls IntelliJ IDEA. The " best HTML editor in the world. Strange. You would think that he meant best Java. Editor, or that he would have picked a dedicated HTML editor. But no, he is very clear:. This is not an understatement. Ruby-fanatics even admit their beloved TextMate has nothing on IDEA (right Dion? In fact, he's right! Check out the Javascript. Which ...

http://idea-log.blogspot.com/2005/10/why-are-continuations-so-confusing-and.html
Ideas and opinions from a programmer at JetBrains. Monday, October 31, 2005. Why Are Continuations So Confusing, and What Do They Really Do? I recently watched a video trying to explain, in simple terms, what continuations are. The quick answer was "Continuations are just the remaining work to be done." WTF? I had been wondering what the heck continuations were, but this answer gave me absolutely no clue. Oh! That's actually the wrong. Why are continuations so confusing? We understand how the implementat...

idea.log: Rediscovering Refactorings
http://idea-log.blogspot.com/2007/03/rediscovering-refactorings.html
Ideas and opinions from a programmer at JetBrains. Monday, March 26, 2007. Michael Feathers wrote a blog. Listing some of the refactorings he would like to see in IDEs. Two refactorings in particular caught my eye, Extract Class and Introduce Parameter Object. In fact, these refactorings have been available for quite some time via a third-party plugin for IntelliJ IDEA. From Sixth and Red River Software. If you regularly do complex refactorings, or if you just happen to want more power out of refactoring...

idea.log: November 2005
http://idea-log.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Ideas and opinions from a programmer at JetBrains. Wednesday, November 09, 2005. Working at JetBrains was great and I take away a better understanding of what it takes to make a great software product. It was great to work with such talented people, and to participate in the IntelliJ community with all it's fantastic people. I'll still be participating, just in a different way, and maybe a little less often. And I'll always be a fan of JetBrains and its products. Posted by Rob Harwood at 4:40 PM.

idea.log: TheServerSide asks the right questions
http://idea-log.blogspot.com/2007/03/theserverside-asks-right-questions.html
Ideas and opinions from a programmer at JetBrains. Thursday, March 01, 2007. TheServerSide asks the right questions. Some IDE surveys are just simple popularity contests. Not this one.

http://idea-log.blogspot.com/2007/02/faster-feedback-and-why-you-want-it.html
Ideas and opinions from a programmer at JetBrains. Tuesday, February 20, 2007. Faster Feedback and Why You Want It: From TDD to CI and Beyond. I recently heard from someone in the industry that around 30-40% of teams are using test-driven development. But only 5-10% of teams are using continuous integration. Servers. I'm not sure how reliable those numbers are, but that's not important; what is. The trend goes all the way back to that dusty fossil of software development theory, the waterfall model.
