I’ve moved back to hand-written.
Will never understand all these people with the patience to use rust!? The overhead for metal alone must be prohibitive.
It’s worse that it’s at a company. But I took a CS class in college that was an intro and the teacher had a pseudo-language that we had to hand-write and turn in to him to have him grade. It still pisses me off to think about how much I would have actually liked the class if I could compile code and see things happen. I changed majors because of that class… I did end up switching back at a different school when I tried a CS class that I liked lol
JetBrains IDEs for me
My work laptop has Windows installed, but I use VSCode and WSL or EC2 Linux instances solely for my work. VSCodium would not work with that workflow because it lacks the Remote and WSL functionality
Neovim, and secondly lazygit. I guess you could count tmux too. I live in the terminal
It’s just what I like man, it’s very customizable and wraps around my workflow instead of me wrapping around it’s workflow. I think about doing a thing and at a point muscle memory kicks in and the thing happens.
Nvim & tmux gang! I’m always happy to see a reasonable number of people mentioning vim in these threads. Need that affirmation that I’m not just a dinosaur.
You are not a dinosaur.
Look at it this way: while everyone else is busy erasing their muscle memory in favor of the next shiny thing every couple of years, you can spend that time improving on what you already know. Its actually giving you an edge.
It’s actually kind of funny. Developers using Vim (or Emacs, Neovim, etc.) are often perceived as archaic, yet very profitiert and the assumtion is that being a very proficient programmer let’s them get away with using archaic tools. In actuality, I’d argue its the other way around. The fact that we dedicate time to mastering the tools of our trade leaves us with more capacity to actually become that proficient.
A magnetized needle and a steady hand.
