This is nice! You can now run multiple coding agents natively in PhpStorm with JetBrains Air. Delegate tasks, keep working while they run, and review the changes right in your IDE. www.jetbrains.com/air/

AI makes building software cheap. Maintaining it is still hard. The best software isn't what ships fastest. It's what stays stable, avoids breaking changes, and lasts. www.briancoords.com/maintaining-...
