As a software engineer, there’s a particular satisfaction that comes from scratching your own itch by building the tool you need. That’s exactly how Protols—my Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation for Protocol Buffers—came to life. The Problem: Navigating Protobuf Hell At work, we use a lot of protobuf files. And I mean a lot. While protobuf is fantastic for defining APIs and data structures, navigating between dozens (sometimes hundreds) of .proto files was becoming a genuine pain point. I found myself constantly using grep or Vim’s search to jump between message definitions, enum declarations, and imports across different packages. ...
