I maintain a small business website with notepad. HTML in the raw.
"Ah, you think IDEs are your ally. But you merely adopted the lDE. I was born in Notepad, molded by it. I didn't see syntax highlighting until I was already a man. By then, it was nothing to me but blinding!"
Someone asked me what IDE I use for python and I’m so dumb I didn’t even know what they meant. I just said whatever the fedora gnome text editor app is… who needs IDEs!
Real OG's let their brains do the highlighting, like God intended
Oh god, I remember the days of creating webpages by hand-editing HTML in notepad. And not fondly.
I enjoyed it :(
I mean I'm not here to shit on anybody else's good time, I just hated it myself.
There are plenty of consenting adults who would be happy to punch you in the genitals, why not just do that instead?
Why not use something like Notepad++ or KWrite?
You'd typically want Kate rather than KWrite, if you're gonna do development. Basically the same editor, but with more power-user features.
