This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Any competent modern IDE or compiler will help you find syntax mistakes. Knowing the concepts is way more important.

Took first semester Java test a month ago. Had to use a built-in WYSIWYG editor within the test webpage.

WYSIWYG for code? Wtf does that mean?

WYSIWYG stands for "what you see is what you get". Basically, it was a plain rich-text editor, with buttons for bold, italics and so on.

Probably you see black text on white background, and get no syntax highlighting or autocomplete, lol.
