>he uses an IDE

To be honest I don't understand why you wouldn't. To look more haxxor?

An IDE was my first introduction to programming and it definitely made things easier but it kept me from learning anything about what I was doing. At some point I wanted to get better at programming and I switched to basic editors like notepad and eventually made my way to vim/emacs and now have no desire of going back to using an IDE. Just seems like it would get in my way more than it would help now.

How did they keep you from learning things? Why would they get in the way? I find it nice with auto completion and such.

Not him but, over the years I've found those who use IDEs have a far harder time internally visualising what's going on in the code

muh autocomplete

>>60391177

I do use an IDE to connect an old hard drive from time to time.

If you're just learning it's better to use a generic text editor.

Otherwise you turn into one of those Pajeets who just essentially paints by numbers via auto complete with no real thought or process to what you're doing.

>>60391177
refactoring, auto completion, context awareness, and navigation is more than nice features, it makes programming a lot easier.
The only scenario where an IDE is worse than a editor is when the editor is better than the editor in the IDE.
But a good editor can always be turned into an IDE.

Lol, OP has never been in the industry.

>>60394084
but how do you compile and link a program then?

>>60391177
try developing firmware for a SoC without the SoC's manufacturer IDE and see where that gets you.

>>60394084
autocomplete makes you type faster.
It has nothing to do with understanding what is going on.
The only argument for not using an IDE when you are learning is when you make your first makefile, you should write it manually so you know how to compile stuff.
When you know how to do that, you should move to cmake or whatever people in your specific field uses, as soon as possible because you should learn things that are relevant.

Whenever I see students go the "no IDE" route, they spend a ton of time on the wrong things and often do badly compared to students who just use an IDE.

Once you know how everything works, it makes sense to expand and seek new and better ways to work.

But if you are completely new to programming, say you are taking a python course in school and you come here.
People immediately tell him to write in C, ditch the IDE and use vim and he has to be a fucking idiot if he does any of that.
Not because vim is a bad editor or C is a bad language, but because doing those changes on while you are learning is completely missing the point.

hes retarded, he thinks writing out methods himself instead of autocompleting makes him a better programmer.

"IDE" fuck their boipussy
