Programmer Humor

I coded several of my early mobile app releases entirely in gedit. Good times.

I sometimes forget how good we have it now. I wrote those apps around 2012 and the DX for the platforms was basically non-existent. Virtually every platform had shit documentation, shit version management, a shit IDE with minimal refactoring features, a shitty debugging experience, and everything felt like it was being botched together by 3 guys in their spare time.

It's incredible now that we have things like hot reloading. You can literally save a change and BAM it's on the screen seconds later. On native platforms no less. Astounding.

I genuinely do a lot of coding in Kate, the standard KDE editor. It's enough to do a lot of things, has highlighting, and is more than enough when you just need a quick fix.

I am also still using nano when editing stuff in the terminal. Please, don't judge me.

"Me who codes with the text editor that came with Ubuntu"...

So VIM?

if you've never used ed(1) technically it's illegal for you to say "it's a UNIX system, i know this"

If you're not writing it all down on paper and then punching holes in cards, you're doing it all wrong

I code using grep's search and replace.

And then there is a colleague who programs in Notepad++ directly on the test server and then just copies his code to prod.

(yes, he works alone on that project)

I do it in nano over ssh. The shortcuts suck but it gets the job done.

NANO is life.

Vim and emacs are text editors.

Vs code is a code editor (but really it's also just a text editor)

Maybe they mean IDEs like visual studio?

I've never really heard it called a coding GUI before.

Man I just use Notepad or IDLE most of the time, I feel you man

doesn't vim come with the Ubuntu installation?

i've programmed in edlin. so there.

What about people, who just burn the machine code directly onto a CD with a laser?
