Number one bullshit Nikita Kucherov shirt

This question is so broad that it’s hard to give a meaningful answer. The person I want to be is very good at vim and tmux, living entirely in the terminal like something out of The Matrix. Unfortunately I am not that person; too hard to motivate more than an occasional trip through vimtutor. I can say “tmux” though.

“Text editor” in the most classic sense calls to mind the editor wars between vi(m) and emacs. I don’t know emacs at all. Steve Yegge likes emacs. I like Steve Yegge. Maybe he’s right and it is the best editor and learning it would lead to the same Nirvana that Paul Graham insists Lisp would. In that case I am missing out.

In college and at my first job I used notepad++ on Windows to write PHP code. It has syntax highlighting. It does not have autocomplete. It’s good at editing text, using common Windows keyboard shortcuts. It has those nice tabs where you can open multiple files. It lacks any other expressive power. It is okay.

One project at my first job used Visual Studio (the heavyweight IDE, not VS Code, which didn’t exist then). It was eye-opening. Intellisense shortens the distance between thought and written code in a way that’s meaningful and makes it easier to maintain flow. The graphical “ooh draw your UI with our tools” thing was… pretty dumb. But it was possible to reason about what was going on.
