JetBrains Junie's Plan Mode: Plan First, Then Code, with Developer Oversight
techNmak · x · 2026-08-14
A developer tries Junie's Plan Mode: asked it to harden an existing webhook pipeline without touching implementation first. Junie inspected the repo, mapped changes across network safety, async behavior, and idempotency, then stopped at an approval gate. The developer spotted gaps, pushed back, and Junie revised before any code changed. The author finds this interaction more interesting than a perfect first plan, emphasizing developer control.
