    I subscribed to you around January of 2023 as I started going to college for a BS in computer software technology. I have to say every video of yours I’ve watched has been very help and I appreciate your channel along with the few others I’ve come across. Thank you for helping out. I’ve also come across quite a few subreddits that seem extremely helpful and thus far my interactions within those communities have been positive and very helpful.

    Good set of tools. The only one I would add is a good debugger (some IDEs have it built in, but not all). This is especially important if you are programming at a lower level where you need to see the registers and flags. Another one is a good profiler. A word of caution to those looking to program professionally, expect the company that you are writing software for to not have one or more of these tools especially CI/CD and test frameworks. I have even worked at companies where there was no source control other than folders with version numbers on them.

    No idea what you do but that was one of the best videos on planning i've seen, it's SO GOOD to see familiar structures like tree and kanban, and to see fundamental stuff like this is rare (to my frustration). I actually had a leg up cause i read Make It Happen by Burke and he worked with this stuff so it was somewhat familiar and good to connect and expend my perspective. Excellent voice and teaching.

    As long as you never use vim, you can choose any IDE. Once you start learning vim or nvim more deeply, you're locked in. Also, learn git!!!! The dev world spins around git and stack overflow.

      @@jackomeme using it when you don't have a GUI is where it shines truly. Run it on everything and get the handy split screen and file explorer in a CLI environment, for basically no system resource cost. The only benefit of a conventional IDE is intelliSense(and sometimes easier debugging). And IntelliSense is highly overrated IMO

    Yeah Unix terminal and vi are my two main important things. And I am amazed how few developers know these!
    Even DOS commands are for most an enigma. And I am like: "You are running on Windows you should know CMD/DOS!"
    I am always amazed how fast my other colleague (also a freelancer) and I are. Because we are the cli/regex/keyboard warriors. And we both are well versed in networking, infrastructure (and cloud now) and software development. The blessing and the curse of growing up in a small software house where you need to do it all! When there are files that need to be reformatted, my colleague are refining whilst I am already hacking away in vi and doing it. "Done! give this is a try!"

    bash/tcsh/ksh, vi, git, gcc, gdb, make, cmake thats really it. And CI/CD is my speciality these days, but it's too complex for a developer to solely focus on. You need to know infrastructure (most devs suck at that), you need to know different build tools, yaml, etc most devs don't have time to get into it. I see that at my customer where the developers have the WORST pipelines created.

    Come back in 40 years. You're still young.
    I've been using VIM for years and before that, VI. I've been paid as a programmer, moving from BASIC to C to PHP to Python, with dozens of other languages between them.
    Using VI/VIM forces you to learn the language, not the IDE.
    And that editor is present on practically ALL systems, without requiring any setup beyond downloading my .vimrc file. I can be ready to go instantly on any client site within SECONDS!
    What happens when you change jobs and they don't support your favourite IDE?
