What’s even the point then?

The point is that you can enable each separate extension you want running on your code editor or uninstall them if you’re unsatisfied. This makes it as light as you want it to be - or as heavy as you need it to.

I was doing fine with just vim and tmux

VSCode is like vim without vim controls and in a browser. Seen that way, it makes more sense. With Vim, you have to hunt for obscure Github repositories and follow arcane installation instructions for hidden extensions that you may or may not need and you have to learn a whole-ass keyboard-shortcut-based programming language just to use any of it.

With VSCode, you click on Extensions, search what you want and it’ll probably be there unless it’s a toxic ecosystem like PHP/C# or some niche ecosystem that no one heard about.

So hard to understand ><

Everyone should be able to do a hello world without IDE

It’s still like that with programming languages like Go and Rust. Job offers are exclusively for senior staff engineers with 5 years of language-specific experience.

Another problem is that Safari is not compatible with the web. Like, I’m not going to prevent myself from using aspect ratios on images because some people made the bad decision of getting an inferior phone that locks them out of using good browsers. And many devs couldn’t have known about it until the website was done and published to prod and iOS users started complaining about it because testing with Safari costs thousands of dollars in Apple hardware - and even if it was caught, it’s still Apple’s fault.

That only-one-ignore-without-premium thing is really asshole design, though

It’s already happening on Pixiv…

It’s a bit unintuitive what happens if I say “bitch” from another instance 🤔

Shame, I was considering using them since the idea of having an instance with no community creation to save on bandwidth was an interesting concept and I needed to get out of lemmy.world because of its stability issues
