Haha, well I guess I over-thought a little 😅

I’m not sure I understand the question but I will try to answer. I did not mean to question you skill in particular, I know nothing about you.

I agree that programming requires repetition e.g. more programming, that’s why I said “This”.

What followed was a generic advice that helped me personally to improve a lot as a developer. I got the chance to work side by side with developers experienced in different types of projects, developers I consider more skilled than me in different ways. I consider this avaluabe experience.

Hope that clears it up a little, nothing to do with you’re skill in particular. English is not my first language so maybe my phrasing is a little weird.

This. For me personally It helps to think of programming as as craft. It also helps a lot if you have someone more skilled than you available to discuss.

It’s okay even fun at first, but eats your soul slowly over the years. Edit: that ofcourse depends on perspective e.g. what you are doing at the moment. I myself moved from an abusive job to a cozy corporate one, it seemed like heaven at first.

+1 for using native ui

Feels like Spotify

My editors

• Professionally I use Jetbrains stuff (intellij, pycharm, etc).
• At home I use Neovim because I like to have lsp support, I’m too cheap to pay for IDE’s and I dislike VSCode for personal reasons. For quick edits I use default text editor e.g. kate/gedit.

My opinions on learning new editors

• If you need to go fast now, use what you know best.
• If you have time to learn just try whatever looks cool. Learning a new editor/way to edit text will broaden your horizons even if you don’t end up using it.
