Good way to code:

vim

Bad way to code:

No-code. Frontpage. IA-assisted. Winmac. No you don't need bytecode. WYSYWYG. IDEs.

If I was the president of programming those people would be on their way to the moon.

It really is time to start using AI dinosaur. Being against AI is really old grumpy grandpa stuff. If your experience with AI is long ago, you should try again. You use vim right? Codeium works under vim. See screenshot about how it auto completes. The longer you use it, the better it can predict.

Edit: fuck, vim is even mentioned in the post: Ofc you use vim.

What about Emacs?

@BordedDev What about Ed? In this unix is programmed. It has the crazy shit from vim and is a 'line' editor. I wonder how they did indenting back in dem days.

@retoor Interesting read, never heard of it before

@retoor codium sucks. I want something that runs on my machine

Pen and paper. Then scan it and run OCR on the image.

@retoor Nah fuck anything generated by AI, it’s a hell to debug and it’s so slow to read. Plus it’s super boring.

@cafecortado Now I want to go to a restaurant where you order by using punch cards...

@cafecortado get digital dude. I write all my code with scantron sheets and scan it in as binary. Ran out of punch cards in 2024.

@BordedDev it's part of your Linux :)

I am talking to AI now. It has gpt engine. I have now a gpt speaker in my house. Wireless.

@retoor Unfortunately I'm stuck on Windoze because some USB devices I have don't have drivers/work on linux. Creative hardware software devs suck balls

More engineers = more good. Every programmer was a noob at some point, and noobs don’t mix well with vim. This is why we need VSCode.
They learn to code using VSCode, then they learn vim, emacs or any other elitist text editor.

Apple AI, lol 😂

People who prefer JS over everything aren’t devs and their opinions about writing code are completely irrelevant.

@Lensflare Did you know Jesus himself and all the prophets were actually speaking Javascript during their sleep?

It's a fact

@Lensflare Buddha himself mentionned prototyping in the sutras.

@antigermgerm yes, I also have nightmares about JS and speak during sleep.

@antigermgerm pretty sure Jesus referred to Javascript as the Synagogue of Satan. Might be paraphrasing.

Also, javascript said backwards in demonic language says "Hail Satan!"

I kinda don't understand how you can not like javascript. It develops so fast and is so fun. You can not like it, but hating it must be impossible.

@retoor I think I have listed all the things which make js retarded a few years ago here on devrant :)

But in essence, it‘s the lack of features, the clown typing and the inherent fundamental design which violates the principle of least surprise and the principle of good defaults.

About the last one, it means that in js, good practices are explicit and bad practices are implicit and/or the default.

@Lensflare but don't you have fun while typing it?

@retoor let me phrase it this way: The fun I have when using JS to build something is about the same fun that I‘d have if I‘d get the task to build a whole house with a plush hammer which makes funny loony toons sounds when you hit something, instead of a real hammer.
