I see that the days when people just sat down with their favorite code editor and wrote code are long gone.
- pas 5y agomy favorite editor was the turbo pascal one! (then Delphi, then PHP, then PHP with unit tests and something like TDD/BDD, then entirely too much Bash, and then python, and then TS, Scala, Rust) I never learned to code without a superfast feedback loop. (maybe I've never learned to code!!!?) oh, okay, there was a C++ project (a music recognizer - shazam clone) and I've mostly hacked that together in vim until the compiler stopped complaining about move semantics and right-references.
- h2odragon 5y agoI've argued with others over the utility of "Do What You Think I Meant" editors. I feel the difference is significant; the kiddies are trying to draw using pantographs and exoskeleton rigs, in terror of the possibilities they might explore had they not the artificial constraints on their tooling.
