Comic Strips

I'd say it's probably happening because the syntax parser runs every character to be able to provide auto complete, and error tracking is a part of that system. I wonder if there's a plugin that introduces some smart delay between when the error is detected and when it's displayed.

You can thank search engines on mobile for that, pure idiocy

Bold of you to assume I even use auto complete!

"clicks"? Where we're going we don't need... "clicks"!

Well, my autocompletes works fine but I thinks it's a lot thanks to vscode, which seems to have pushed LSP.

One doesn't know how to code if they cannot spell the whole word.

(Turn off autocomplete for a day and test your actual knowledge.)

I've done critical fixes (usually config) direct on a prod server with vim over ssh before now. Not the best way to do it but sometimes waiting for CI will just take too long...

I once fixed an important bug by force-pushing on the master branch (I was an admin too and could do it). I had 5 minutes to fix it, and no one was aware of it. I didn't ask for permission but I was sweating a lot.

I've lost track of the number of Report Builder files I've had to update via Notepad++ - the intended editor has so many weird kinks and corner cases it's often easier to just edit the file directly!

Visual Studio has these issues daily.

Ten years ago VS was awesome. In the last 2 years, all they added is AI crap and every other feature got more buggy.

I have a faint memory of working with Eclipse but shelved it due to making Java even slower than my dog walking towards his shower. Is it still alive and viable?

Have you tried modern Eclipse on Wayland? Save often!

Oh I don't know. 1,3,5 and 6 resonate strongly with me for Visual Studio 2022. The only reason 4 doesn't is because instead of looking for a setting I DDG "how do I do X in VS2022"

modern IDEs are dog shit. If I needed a glorified clippy telling me how to do my job I'd smash my brains out all over my keyboard.

Give me an editor with the following and I'll be good for life.

• syntax highlighting/error flagging
• project scoping
• script injection
• ftp/scp

nice to have:

• db viewer (SQL/sqlite)
• json viewer
• diff
• git/vcs

if an editor can do all that I can make it do whatever I need.

I do all my edits using sed inserts, like a real dev.

I use Emacs honestly just because it’s more FUN for me. It’s such an open book internally that when things break, I find I can usually figure it out. There aren’t that many environments that really feel that way. I get that it’s not everybody’s cup of tea, but man am I glad to have it.

Basically yeah, it's a text editor with a lot of features geared towards making programing easier, e.g. an equivalent of a spell checker but for code. Like any software, some IDEs/features can be either poorly designed or unstable, which can be aggravating when you spend your day working with it.

From my limited knowledge (just started learning python) an IDE (integrated developing environment) is a program where you can do multiple things in one place while writing a program like coding, debugging or even running your application

I never knew it used to be a storage standard. Turns out it was renamed to PATA at some point.

As someone else said, IDE refers to development software like Visual Studio, Eclipse, and others. Nowadays a lot of text editors (VS Code/ium, Sublime Text, and many others) come with enough features to pass as an IDE too, but some people still somehow differentiate between them.

More than the complete collapse of the programming profession is discouraging new coders?

vscode isn't an ide either. one of the big problems i've seen with its python lsp server is that it doesn't work if the project structure is "wrong", which means that usability is limited.
