A lot of devs are not superstar devs.
They don't want a terminal tool, or anything they have to configure.
A IDE you can just download and 'it just works' has value. And there are companies that will pay.
- dukeyukey 1y agoCC _is_ that took. npm install, login, give tasks. Diff automatically appears in your IDE (in VSC/Intellij at least).
- loandbehold 1y agoYou don't need to be a superstar dev to use CC. If you can use chat window you can use CC.
- old_man_cato 1y agoA lot of engineers underestimate the learning curve required to jump from IDE to terminal. Multiple generations of engineers were raised on IDEs. It's really hard to break that mental model.
- khurs 1y agoYes. A simple example is GIT. Many insist on using standalone GUI/IDE panels for a simple fetch/push rather than just using terminal.
