"I refuse to work in C#"

my god, I have to actually install Visual Studio and work in an IDE? No way. I want to work from the command line for development, and if you want to use C# for the back end, I'm not going to help you.

Yes indeed, I heard that on Friday from a Linux guy who is trying to push for a Django / Python back end at the company I'm working at.

F***ing script-kiddies.

I have no respect for developers who claim they couldn't possibly develop without the latest IDE and related tools. Do more with less.

I use Visual Studio only when I need to (WinForms and SSIS), but all my other C# I do old-school*. And I prefer to do primarily back-end, library, utility stuff.

I can send him a copy of the simple IDE I wrote -- I use it for C#, C, and VB. I'm sure it can do other languages (basically all you need to do is tell it how to call the compiler). (Sorry, no article is forthcoming at this time.)

* No syntax highlighting, no code folding, no debugger, no designer, no intellisense, no real-time syntax checking, just raw like a chopped panhead yo. Cool | :cool:

Like turbo C, except Turbo C has a debugger.

WTF??? You elitist snob. Just use the damn tools. It's like you're saying I know I can get this nail in with my screwdriver if I can hit it hard enough so I don't need a hammer.

They're just tools to make your life easier. But you go ahead: bang your head against that old school wall.

Just ridiculous. Thumbs Down | :thumbsdown:

I never want to go back to the command line to code. Ugh! Dead | X|

I've been using screwdrivers to push in nails and make holes in walls for a very long time. Many times it's just easier.

That's like admitting you code in basic.

PIEBALDconsult1-Aug-15 15:54

Hardly ever. And it's BASIC, you heathen.

And BASIC is still easier to use than COBOL and Fortran.

Hey I've got an Atari 800 with 32K RAM and cassette tape backup if anyone is interested. I'll throw in the BASIC cartridge for free even! Laugh | :laugh:

That's some serious storage you got there; I remember my first PC had a 40MB hard drive and that was plenty.

I also remember coding in "Machine Code" on my speccy.

And yes, I'm aware this is starting to turn into the Monty Python 4 Yorkshiremen sketch[^].

I can't resist. My first machine was a Commodore Vic-20... with 3.5K of user RAM and built in BASIC.

Luxury! I had a TRS-80 with no tape drive and a broken game cartridge slot. Literally all I could do with it was type in BASIC programs that would disappear as soon as I switched it off.

I had a KIM-1 with 4 KB memory. No disk, no tape. Just a hex keypad and a 6 X 7 segment display. After an hour of hand keying in the program you could play Hunt the Wumpus!

In my first programming class we had these workstations with an 8080A, an octal keypad, and 3 rows of 8 LEDs (with pin-outs if you wanted to be fancy and wire up a 7-segment). I can't seem to find it on Google, though.

My first computer was a simple Base 10 analog machine. It had 2 parts attached to the end of my arms. I still have it and use it when I don't want to be bothered with an IDE to hammer screws in or pound nails with a screwdriver.

I can't resist as well...

My first computer was a Sinclair ZX-81, with the 16KB add on memory module. That and a realistic cassette deck were all that were needed to ensure productivity never faltered.
