Some of them could make sense to be reposted, but the overwhelming majority of them are useless because nobody is going to respond to them. I’m glad that blocking the bot hides all of these posts.

Neovim works well for me. If you want to get some IDE-like features out of the box you can try AstroNvim https://github.com/AstroNvim/AstroNvim. I also use rust-tools for some extra features: https://github.com/simrat39/rust-tools.nvim. Customizing Neovim might be scary at first, but there are lots of resources to learn from and you can basically do anything you want with it.

With ~10 people on the team, many products, and dozens of repositories that we maintain, rarely. Maybe a few times per month. In the two years I’ve been with this company, I haven’t run into a single merge conflict that wasn’t straightforward to sort out.
