How We Use AlphaEvolve to Make Complex IDE Algorithms Faster
AI How We Use AlphaEvolve to Make Complex IDE Algorithms Faster AlphaEvolve is a Google DeepMind algorithm-discovery system that uses Gemini to generate, test, and refine possible algorithm improvements. Its job is not to answer questions; it searches for faster ways to solve complex algorithmic problems. We tried it on a narrow but important part […]

What Does It Actually Take for an IDE to Understand Rust?
Vlad discovered Rust around 2014, but did not seriously start writing it until joining JetBrains and working on the IntelliJ Rust plugin, the predecessor to RustRover. Q2. Why do Rust IDEs reimplement parts of the compiler? To provide features like completion, go to declaration, semantic highlighting, and refactorings, Rust IDEs effectively need to understand the […]
How Four Teams Stopped Postponing the Refactoring They Knew They Needed
Insights How Four Teams Stopped Postponing the Refactoring They Knew They Needed As an engineering leader, you don’t need to be told your codebase needs attention. The issue isn’t awareness – it’s the rational risk calculation that follows. For four teams, that calculation kept producing the same answer: defer. They found a way out not […]
How AI Agents Can Work with TeamCity
TL;DR: At some point, we crossed an interesting threshold. AI agents can now set up TeamCity build configurations and even full build chains, add build features, and configure parameters. This works because TeamCity documentation is structured and accessible through MCP via Context7, and because agents can rely on tools like the TeamCity CLI and the […]
