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.

What about Emacs?

@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...

@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.

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

@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.

@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.

@Lensflare exactly. How fun would that be?

Hell I'm getting a plush hammer right this instant
