I spent bout 3 years in the 90s when I needed to mess with Java code. Would not dream about going through all those giant piles of enterprise code without IDE.

- saagarjha 5y agoIt’s good that we don’t throw people directly into a professional environment when teaching them how to code, no?
- FpUser 5y agoI see no point in wasting time. I learned programming on my own. Started with machine codes. But I grabbed every tool that can help (including IDE) as soon as they appeared. Programming to me was / is a tool I use to make products. I see no point in suffering for the heck of it. Instead of fucking with 10 miles long command line and remembering every squiggly thingy I think it is better to explain to students how computers really work instead.
- saagarjha 5y agoIt's nice to learn how tools work internally, so you can fix them when they break. Once you know how to do that, it's fine to graduate into something that does the work for you.
