Thanks, but for the little C# I need to write I'll stick with nvim :D (Yeah yeah I know)
Incidentally, when I started to learn programming, I definitely was using an IDE (I can honestly not remember which one - I was following some book which included the setup of the IDE and instructions for that IDE only).
But even back then it always bugged me that I did not know what was going on in the background. When a button did not do what the book said it would do, that would turn into frustration because I could not understand what had happened, or why something failed. Sure, part of that was just inexperience, but even today, I easily despair at GUIs.
I could for example never get started with Godot because my brain just does not connect all the checkboxes and sliders with what is happening in the background. Bevy, on the other hand, was super easy to pick up precisely because there is no GUI.
Maybe I am just weird.
(Also I do not want to discourage anyone from using GUI tools, I originally just commented to support the "Linux is dev friendly" statement)
Hm, yeah, if you have an IDE made for your language, I suppose you can get around it for most things. (But that is not Windows-specific, most of those exist for Linux as well, after all).
Still, I have (for example) not worked in any project yet that did not have some bash scripts to automate project-specific tasks. Ireonically, the only person using a full-blown IDE in my team is also an absolute crack at the CLI.
I know those are anecdotal, but I would still maintain that it is very difficult to completely get around the CLI, and frankly, I do not see the benefit of doing so. An IDE is esssentially a nice wrapper around tons of CLI tools, and being able to use and understand them can only be beneficial.
Fair, but for those there presumably is a CLI as well? And conversely, what is stopping you from using a GUI debugger onLinux?
I was more thinking along the lines: you'd be hardpressed to find a debugger that does not have a CLI
Can confirm, moved to NixOS.
Same is true for Windows.
Frankly you cannot get around the command line when developing.
“This scared the pants off every software developer in the world” no. No it hasn’t. That’s just not true.
Yeah, fair, I also did not really agree with that part. Essentially everyone i nmy vicinity "hyped" for this were non-technical people.
Why do you even say that.
(Just to be clear, it's not my video, I just thought it fit here)
Sorry, I though my comment was sufficiently self-humerous 😅
Of course custom configs are not suitable for anyone but the config-urator. Hence, custom configs :D
All DEs are jank. The only good DE is the tiling wm I put 10k lines of config into.
Don't get me wrong, that's also janky, but it's my ~~fault~~ jank.
I recommend using Usenet for German stuff, all the private trackers I have tried in the past were... seedy.
Yes, you need to pay for access to the Usenet, but it's worth it for German language audio IMO.
Check out scenenzbs.com, no need to pay to search there. Check if everything you need is available, though likely, it will be.
I have not had a failed download yet.
Yeah. Everytime I'm for a visit, I have to show my mom again how to copy/paste things, access files on her USB drive, where to click to do an update,...
But she loves Bitwarden. Has been app consistent in using random passwords for logins, both on desktop and mobile.
