I think Carmack was mostly talking about regular Visual Studio as his IDE of choice, though. Not VSCode.
Yeah, he meant VS. He even mentioned using an older version (6) as it is much faster on modern computers. Maybe he was referring to a friend of his, I don’t remember. Most Windows programmers I know (not a lot) use VS for the ease of integration with all things .NET and Microsoft.
Another clip from the same interview on the "best" programming language => https://youtu.be/RfWGJS7rckk
I can't be the only one who likes the commandline gdb experience right?
Don't forget that a terminal puts off 4/5 developers.

A semi successful YouTube video with less 2m views can easily bring in several thousand dollars in ad revenue. He is way more successful and has multiple sponsors. https://www.atomic14.com/2022/07/27/successful-youtube-video...
Several thousands for what time duration? That’s one month of rent. I would be interested in some estimates of revenue per audience.
I'm one of the people he talks about who moved from diehard Emacs use slowly to more and more VSCode use largely due to the better UI experience around debugging and integration of a lot of modern tools. His point about features not being used when they're complicated to reach despite people claiming that they'll use them is a true observation in particular. You always can set up a lot of those features in your unix-…
I ended up with the best of both worlds (subjective of course!). I use VSCode with a Vim plugin. I get all the best keystrokes from Vim, and the GUI of VSCode. For me, going to Vim would be worse, and going to plain VSCode would be worse.
unless you got both to work?

The same way Joe Rogan does, just on a smaller scale. 1/100th of what Joe Rogan makes is still an extremely comfortable life.
Lex seems to be on a trajectory to really make it big. It is amazing what kind of guests he is having. Perhaps if he turns it more mainstream he will become the next Rogan?
Rogan, being a comedian, has a completely different energy. He will discuss serious topics too but his most iconic moments are usually him and some comedians/fighters shooting the shit about drugs or chimps.
Are there no good UI experiences you can bolt onto gdb? Do Emacs/Vim not have nice modes that take some of the pain away? I've no real experience with using gdb - my main debugger usage has been on the JVM or using old Borland debuggers on Win32. Are there no good open source user-friendly debuggers out there? I tend to develop software interactively with a REPL where I can so if a good debugger can give you somethin…
I've been trying to listen to the whole thing (it's 5 hours!), and there are some really interesting moments. Albeit, a bit too much talk on old video games that aren't from my generation, but I'm sure this will be interesting to some people to. What I found interesting: * he has insane hours and has never burnt out. He says that if you want to achieve big things in your life, you need to work a lot. He also says tha…
It's not that much caffeine, his 3 liters of coke contains about the same as 1 liter of brewed coffee. 1 standard can of diet coke (375 ml) contains 48 mg caffeine -> 128 mg/liter. So 3 liters (8 cans) contains 384 mg caffeine. Brewed coffee contains ~400 mg/liter.

VSCode is based on Electron, a glorified hack/resource hog of Chromium than even Github largely abandoned. It maybe "great" and mildly "popular" here and there, but it's built on a foundation of mud. Build native apps that work and are performant. With enough effort and care, a frictionless experience can be made with a TUI should some "Jetbrains" come along and try to make a commercial product out of it.
This is the most "just use rsync instead of Dropbox" HN-style argument I've ever heard. It's sufficiently comical to be satire
