I can write code in Notepad, but why would I do that when I can see type annotations/errors on the fly?
It greatly increases my productivity, probably by a factor of least 1.5x.
- whalesalad 7y agoI’m not suggesting you must use a barebones editor for work. I’m suggesting that if you NEED a massive IDE for development then there is a problem. I use Sublime with a handful of plugins, linters, etc... enabled. But if someone wanted to hack on my projects with Notepad they totally could.
