Ha, this reminds me of the HPCs I work with.
When I got here, they were developing a web service API for various things. Their strategy was to deploy to test, and hit the web service, then retrieve logs from the test server and plow through them looking for errors, and/or review the results in the app that worked those kinds of data (for saving methods).
Invariably, the logging wouldn't be sufficient for some problem, so they'd add more, re-deploy, etc, etc. Of course, since "branching is too hard," this also means that potentially broken code is checked in, so it could be deployed to test.
These web services were part of a webapp solution. So, I put a 'Test' area in there, and built some views to let them pick the API method they wanted to run, displaying some inputs appropriate to that method, and throwing the results up on the screen. Allowed me to debug the code in VS instead of having to read logs, and test locally.
These guys looked at me as if I was from the moon. Sigh.

Definately VS Code 
|
|
|
|
|

VS Code is really useful, especially without any of the addins. I use it as an editor for C/C++, C#, Java, Javscript, PHP and Python. I use simple batch files in the terminal Window of VS Code to build and run the samples.

I've always liked LINQPad - The .NET Programmer's Playground[^], ever since I heard of it anyway.
It's meant for giving you a C# oriented way to query different databases, but I find it great for just trying snippets of C# code.
*Not at all associated with the developer other than that we live in the same city and he gave an interesting talk a conference one time.

yeha <3 LINQPad, we got the Premium License. isnt that expensive compared to other tools or 3rd party components. And realy usefull..
I use it kinda every day, trying some simple stuff I'm not 100% sure how it works, testing some new things without creating that usual console application and .Dump() to view anything on the fly 
|

I vote for LinqPad also. A quick way to check out code snippets, classes and even small programs. Works with C#, F#, SQL and even VB. Similar debug methods as Visual Studio.

Have you tried Notepad++ with the CS-Script Plugin

For C or C++ code, I use vim and gcc on Linux console.
For quick prototyping, Lua (again, with vim, on Linux console).

What is wrong with emacs? 
|
|
|
|
|
The learning curve? I am not used to emacs.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes it is a bit of a challenge, but so much better than vim once you get used to it.
|
|
|
|

emacs is a good OS, but it could really use a decent editor...

This is a good joke, but it could really use a punchline
(The first time I heard this joke was in '92, so I've had quiet a long time to think of a reply)

I also like LINQPad[^] for doing some quick POCs.

But surely you'll have VS installed anyway? I don't see the issue?  Like others have said though, in terms of "quick" I'll use console apps, especially if trying to develop an algorithm or something. If even that is too much for me, some days I'll just copy and paste my task onto a web forum and ask someone else to give the codes.

I have a testing application that makes it very easy to add an algorithm and a little function to test it. Adding a new one requires adding a line to a header that looks like this :
InteractvFunction( _T( "Time Functions" ), DoTimeFunctionTest );
StandardFunction( _T( "Random Values" ), DoRandomValueTest ); An InteractiveFunction requires user input so it runs in the primary thread. A StandardFunction does not require input and is run in a worker thread context. I've been using this for several years now and it's pretty handy. I occasionally prune things back because the menu gets too full of testing snippets, several of which originated from questions here.

'MyProgs' program directory contains all of my own programming work on my computer. (It is a sub of 'Programs', which contains all the programming work on my computer.) It has a 'Junk' folder which contains a few different types of bare-bones projects (console, Windows, etc.), that can have the code added to them to play with. I just open the appropriate one in a new Visual Studio session and start playing with the code. If it is a complete program like comes with many of the articles here, it gets tossed into a sub off of 'Programs\Others Programs', extracted, and ran as-is.
