  • Same. Started using it two years ago when it was recommended by a programming professor and my only device was a shitty craptop that could barely start VScode. Was all I wanted from a simple IDE, and on top of that managed libraries and build tools automatically so all I had to do was code.

    Used it again a couple of months ago when I needed to use an IDE but the class PCs didn’t have one installed yet. All I have available is my generic Java playground I made, rest of my projects locked…

    I didn’t mind the AI auto complete or the chat section, but I could tell already it was shitting the bed. Such a shame.



  • As “someone who gets distracted very easily,” he made the change to reclaim his attention span. Ditching his laptop gave him an environment where “YouTube isn’t around the corner” and he can focus on his reading.

    This is just avoiding the issue of having a short attention span.

    Reminds me a lot of fellow classmates at my college who I discovered hate online classes because they say they can’t stay focused. So I don’t know how these “luddite” students plan to not get distracted when their job will most likely involve sitting in front of a computer.
