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.

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

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've programmed in edlin. so there.

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

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

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

doesn't vim come with the Ubuntu installation?

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.

Yep. Fancy devs watching me coding some Rakulang in nano 😂

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

So VIM?

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.

Learned C++ by using gedit on the Sun machines in my college's computer lab in 2007. They were decommissioned shortly after I graduated.

I code using grep's search and replace.
