A good dev uses an IDE. In 2020.
- snazz 6y agoThis is a really tired argument that we don't need to get into right now. Different things appeal to different people.
- qqssccfftt 6y agoAnd text editor users are wrong.
- entropicdrifter 6y agoTwo things can be true. You shouldn't need an IDE to grok the code.
- petee 6y agoA good dev shouldn't require crutches
- Dylan16807 6y agoInteractivity is not a crutch.
- petee 6y agoInteractivity is a base attribute of an ide, and not the first reason people use it; the context here is that using an ide doesn't define a good programmer. So being able to clicky click is what makes good programmers to you?
- Dylan16807 6y agoThey said that good devs use IDEs, not that IDE use makes you a good dev. Those are very different statements.
- petee 6y agoThey said "A" good dev uses an ide, and a snappy 'in 2020' retort. It's plainly clear their intention is to imply only good devs use ide's in the modern era.
- Dylan16807 6y agoNo, that's not how simple if statements work. I don't know what else I can say. If I say "A good CPU has more than two cores in 2020." then I'm just saying it's a requirement, not sufficient all by itself. I'm not calling a twelve-year-old phenom X3 a good CPU. The "in 2020" is just to emphasize that anyone failing this standard is falling behind the times.
