## Tips and Tricks

### IntelliJ IDEA

- Under `Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings`, disable
`Sync external changes: Periodically when the IDE is inactive (experimental)`.
When disabled, the IDE will not attempt to reindex files while patches are applying
unless you interact with the IDE during the process. This avoids severe slowdowns and freezes.
- Under `Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings`, you may also want to
disable `Reopen projects on startup` to avoid freeze loops.
