A hard disagree on this. Yes, text editors aren't the best to use, yet guess what? I would mind recommending GitHub as alternative.
Maybe for some it is comfortable to use GH as the place to write code, but personally, as someone who has a father who is a 20+ years programmer, I prefer to use nati-
Pah! Real sysadmins commit a backlog of unreviewed third party patches to multiple live systems on Friday at 4:59pm from the airport lounge before heading off on a 2 week wilderness holiday, finish their third drink and then turn their phone off!
Don't be so silly. Real programmers pipe their code (in machine language, because human readability is for wimps) to a file through stout in the terminal because editors are for wimps. And they do so over teletext, because security is also for wimps.
A former boss wanted to send our dev team on a typing course, "so they can code faster."
To this day, I believe he thought coding was just writing, "Draw a big square and stick a bunch of buttons inside it. Make them blue. The first button is payroll..."
Both approaches are pretty hardcore. That's like diving without a seat belt to get the full experience. You can do it, both work, but you better be a betting man with ice 🧊 in your his veins.
Unless you're working with embedded systems with a hardware aspect to them - then yout use your favourite IDE that allows you to use hardware debug probes!
Real devs don't use github. They open index.php in vi and edit directly on the production server, relying on vim to make a ~index.php backup temp file while they edit.
Ha! I laugh at your git hub. Real programmers punched instructions onto an IBM 360 mainframe thru the dials on the panel! Sometimes, we used punch cards.
Real programmers don't deal with source code. They copy /dev/urandom as the released binaries and also submit that as the documentation, knowing everything behaves exactly as documented.
I’m in the process of making a blog hosted on GitHub, and one of the main reasons I decided to do that was so I could write articles directly into the web ui
Well of course I had it tough. I used to have to wait a couple hundred years for the right solar maximum, hold my platters at just the right angle to line up the sun spots, and hope for a Carrington Event, just to flip one bit.
Not even a programmer, but somehow it was my job to make updates to the website at a nonprofit I used to work at and they used convio and the version they had would have all the code as one giant single block and I had to make edits in that.
real programmers write their own OS, invent their own editor, to write the compiler and linker to invent their own coding language nobody understand, to program an app nobody can use except the coder.
That’s how I wrote my MSc thesis. Wrote a word processor, wrote a shuttle routine to save the document, built a parallel cable, wrote the printer drivers and coded up a rudimentary dictionary to spell check my document. It was worth it, but I don’t miss any of that, not one bit
I have no idea. He said he knew a bunch of folks who struck it rich in the 1970s in Palo Alto and other parts of Silicon Valley. He was one of those OG tech nerds.
Maybe he used the tub to dip the boards in the acid wash or something. Perhaps the sink wasn't large enough.
I used to make the actual paper from recycled wood, but in my older years that became too much work so resorted to store bought paper, which I then carefully fashioned into incredibly long rolls.
Real programmers = ones who not been active in programming for years, with no IDE or can’t make IDE work locally, and still just want to make cosmetic edits for some reason. If only the code compiled on cloud properly!

If that’s all that survives of my time this world, uffffff

There's an EMACS command for that...
finally free of native
(Didn't check comments, I'm sure I'm the thousandth person to post this by now...)

He was either an idiot or an AI visionary.

Windows Narrator called. Your ROFLcopter is ready

and you can just open vscode, periodt.
Where can I buy that keyboard?
Real programmers write the whole thing from scratch again with COPY CON
They wont get a snippet of code from me
Everything was new, everything was coded from scratch.
Unless you were Bill Gates with access to Dartmouth BASIC and used that to develop Altair BASIC.
Maybe he used the tub to dip the boards in the acid wash or something. Perhaps the sink wasn't large enough.
The worst thing is edits to correct bugs...
I'M SORRY
Turns out if you forget to run COMMIT on a central table you will have a bad day trying to figure WTF is going on.
He wasn't joking, he was serious, he thinks electricity falls out of sockets into the air and gets lost. He wasn't a kid.
Lordt.
I was thinking before hard drives. Floppy discs, cassette tape drives.
Company wide message: “everyone get out of ‘xxxx’”

“Ok everyone can get back in.”
