    I disagree that a person with low IQ would think its possible to code using a simple text editor. If anything he needs IDE more than any one else.

      Yeah, it doesn’t fit the template but the low IQ version would be more like “You only need ChatGPT for coding.”

          I spent years using Notepad++ as my professional editor. We were a Windows shop and all of the IDEs available were much slower and buggier. It’s a surprisingly decent introduction to the idea of what a good text editor can be.

      Depends on where you start. When your first contact is HTML its not too unusual to use a text editor for development.

      I interpreted it more like saying the first place people learn to code, especially if you’re not self taught, is in a text editor like vim or emacs.
