Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
I regret nothing. Say what you want.
Edit: I just saw the two typos. If you find them, you're welcome to keep them.
At uni I did a lot of my Java coursework in notepad, then I’d have to take it into a computer lab on a floppy, tar it and upload it to a unix terminal so it could be emailed to the professor. Java syntax with only the command line compiler is not fun.
As long as you don't use Microsoft Word we can be friends
What about the libre office version?
Bonus points if you're saving it as an .odt and still producing a validly executable file of some kind
You're weird, but we can be friends if you want.
At one of my jobs around 2010 there was a dev in the office who wrote all his code in Notepad. When I joined the staff they were still using Classic ASP. My job was to help them (finally) migrate to ASP.Net. He intended to develop .Net apps in Notepad rather than learn how to use VS. I got laid off due to cutbacks and never found out what kind of luck he had wit dat.
NANO is life.
Nano is fine. But Micro is a worthwhile upgrade: https://micro-editor.github.io/
Nano is love.

This feels a little bit like Brainfuck tbh.
For what it’s worth, I can think of one thing that would make brainfuck even worse: Instead of using 8 arbitrary characters (it only uses > < + - . , ] and [ for every instruction) for the coding, use the 8 most common letters of the alphabet. Since it ignores all other characters, all of your comments would need to be done without those 8 letters.
For example, “Hello World” in brainfuck is the following:
++++++++[>++++[>++>+++>+++>+<<<<-]>+>+>->>+[<]<-]>>.>---.+++++++..+++.>>.<-.<.+++.------.--------.>>+.>++.
If we instead transposed those 8 instructions onto the 8 most common letters of the alphabet, it would look more like this:

text editor application that came with Ubuntu
nano
shivers
I'm probably in the minority but I think it's fantastic! No extra baggage, super quick to work with, and it does syntax highlighting pretty well!
Nah man, I'm with you, nano is no nonsense get shit done editor. It might not have advanced features but I'm not an advanced man.
I write all my code on paper and use OCR to convert it. It almost works sometimes.
That boy is gonna be a murderer
Gedit was my main text editor for years. I also used it for work. It has all the basic features that you need for coding. For everything else I use the terminal.
I used Notepad++ for virtually all coding I did (Python, JS, various Markup Languages, Action Script back in the day, etc) for a couple decades. The only reason I use VSCode now is because I inherited a nightmare of a legacy spaghetti bowl and needed the function tracing to attempt to figure out anything. I still prefer N++ for most small projects.
I like SublimeText for everything unless a quick edit at the CLI with Vim.
Code in MS Word because it handles tabs correctly, unlike all code editors.
Tab means "move to the next tabstop", not "advance a fixed amount".
(I don't do it, I'm not THAT insane)
