I hear chanting coming from outside my prison. Sure, it's a soft prison, of keyboard-only specialized-interface goodness. but a prison, still. I've heard chanting before, but this time it's different. It's louder. Could it be? I resolve to try a daring escape. If I can get this new C++ project set up properly, I might be out free! I've chosen an accomplice of good repute: VS Code. After 30 minutes of figuring out which extension to add for the project, how to configure the build, I still haven't managed to get it working. What could be the issue? It builds fine in the IDE but won't find declarations and headers properly. The google oracle offers no help. Hey, mr. Magician: I can compile the project just fine myself in a terminal, why don't YOU read my Makefile and figure it out? Too late, the vim guards arrive. They open my CMakeLists.txt parchment, and write "set( CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS ON )". Immediately, YouCompleteMe whirrs to life and works perfectly. The guards drag me back in my old cell. Oh well, it's not so bad here, at least I can focus. And it keeps the mouse away. Until the next time I hear people outside chanting "Modern IDEs are magic".
