An absurd claim. How can you interpret my post as a "get off my lawn" type thing?
- scarface74 7y agoWell because it is. With a large codebase, things like navigating through a solution, automated code refactorings, intellisense, etc. can be done with IDEs. Do you all so litter your code with print statements to debug?
- black-tea 7y agoAre you just playing ignorant for fun? You must know that there are people out there hacking on the most advanced software projects we have such as the linux kernel or C compilers etc. and they don't all use IDEs.
- scarface74 7y agoAnd what percentage of developers is that? That’s about like the same bubble thinking of every developer works on the west coast making $300K a year that you see on HN. And some people also still write in assembly. I also thought that any high level language was useless. Then I thought anything more high level than C was for beginners. But I grew up and start being more concerned with making money and implementing solutions than having geek cred...
- black-tea 7y agoGood for you, man. I hope the money continues to bring you happiness.
