Livestream: UI Freezes in JetBrains IDE Plugins and How to Avoid Them | The JetBrains Platform Blog Join Yuriy Artamonov, an IntelliJ Platform expert, for a livestream on preventing UI freezes in JetBrains IDE plugins.

If you build plugins for @jetbrains.com IDEs, UI freezes are among the fastest ways to ruin the UX.

My colleague Yuriy will host a livestream on why they happen, how plugin code can accidentally block the UI thread, and how to avoid it.

Some cool new features are coming in the #IntelliJIDEA 2026.1 release. Can't wait to tell you all about them in the What's new video with Marco Behler, @antonarhipov.bsky.social and @sivalabs.in

Looking forward to speak at @javaland.bsky.social this week, together with @andresalmiray.com on "Getting more out of #Maven".

See you there?

How does #Java Vector API accelerate parallelizable computations?

I explored it in my new article (with an example):

Anton's talks are always great! 💪

Self care ftw

It might be very un-Dutch of me but I prefer walking... 🙈

Two birds with one stone. Nice!

Yes, for actual debugging I do love the @intellijidea.com debugger ;)

Sleep is the best debugging tool. But taking a walk is a close second.

Curious to know what @jetbrains.com Developer Advocates do on Bluesky?

Just over two weeks ago I had the privilege of speaking at
@cern.voxxeddays.ch 2026.

Apart from nerding out over the LHC (see a previous post), it was great to speak about #IntelliJIDEA, see friends and meet new people.

The pictures by @ddoutsiopoulos.bsky.social are magic as always.

Is this the new "x years of experience with <library or framework that is less than x years old>"?

As always, it was fun to speak with @piotrprz.bsky.social and the pictures by @ddoutsiopoulos.bsky.social are amazing. 😍

I'm in this picture (with @piotrprz.bsky.social) and I like it.
