Note how he only uses 1 monitor, like Linus Torvalds and Terry Davis.
Josiah Hernandez
But the geeuuii tho
Ryan Morgan
There needs to be a study of emac/vim users vs ide users to determine who's more productive once and for all.
Mason Sanchez
is he daltonic? I refuse to believe he codes in red.
Henry Mitchell
lcd are like gold
Smart people use gold and money to make passive profit
Less smart people just wear all gold shiny things and walk around
People who actually do something on pc focus on work, virgins neets that can not into programming need several screen like in shinny movies
Asher Thompson
I'm very productive with VsVim and ReSharper at work but at home I'm using just Vim.
Luke Powell
>Note how he only uses 1 monitor, like Linus Torvalds and Terry Davis. All the best programmers use a single monitor. It helps you focus. When you have multiple monitors, it's super-easy to lose focus.
Ayden Price
>note how he can only afford 1 monitor, like Linus and Terry ftfy
Liam Moore
>afford These guys(except Terry) can buy your life. Stay cucked, nigger
Gabriel Carter
The more experienced the engineer, the less he wastes his time on a computer, leaving the software work for autistic virgin faggots, and the more he is focused on building complex mechanisms and hardware.
Additionally, the more experienced the engineer, the more capable he is of using the shittiest of tools with the shittiest quality of materials, to make something that's beyond the expected results that such tools and materials would usually be able to create.
Nolan Martin
The second monitor is for browsing the web.
Logan Hall
>The second monitor is for browsing the web. Exactly.... it's for wasting your time and losing the focus. That's why everyone who cares about being productive and getting shit done should ditch the second monitor and only have one.
Aaron Nguyen
I use second monitor for holding reference material and the shell so i can follow along manpages or other documentation. First monitor is usually a split text editor with main file im working in on the left side and headers/misc files on right side.
And if i ever have to do gui or web stuff then i get the visuals to go onto the second monitor when testing.
Henry Roberts
This, but my money is on turbo autism
Bentley Rodriguez
>The more experienced the engineer, the more he is likely to use vim/emacs.
The more hipster the engineer, the more likely he is to use vim/emacs.
The whole "editor war" is tiresome. It boils down to people who have a little bit of IDE experience who, for some reason, decide IDEs are just drag-and-drop Duplo coding for retards.
These days, it all boils down to vim/emacs vs Visual Studio, maybe IntelliJ or Eclipse.
It's like everyone forgot about around two decades of innovation in code editing software. It's amazing how little actual experience the critics have in text/code editors overall.
Caleb Diaz
Didn't Notch use dual monitors? He's a billionaire now as well.
Xavier Rivera
Some people have jobs and find a second monitor useful to display things like email, chat, DB explorers and reference materials.
Grayson Bell
And mentally ill. I blame the monitors.
Dominic Perez
>Some people have jobs and find a second monitor useful to display things like email, chat, DB explorers and reference materials. aka many ways to waste your fucking time.
when you're programming or getting shit done, you need only one thing in front of you: your work.
you don't have to have chat/email open at all to do work. you can easily open email client/browser every hour or so to check what's up. no need to have it always drain your attention away from you.
Yes goy, use (((vim))) and be sure to donate to nigger children in Uganda like a good betacuck.
David Lopez
Contrary to popular belief, humans are absolute shite at multitasking, it's been proven multiple times. One monitor is the way to go, and the top 0.1℅ of engineers know that.
Dominic Johnson
Just remove the intro message, you lobotomized nigger. Nobody is forcing you to pay shit.
Robert Smith
This, i have 3 monitors but turn off 2 when i'm working works fine. 3 monitors are usually for my spare time
Cooper Russell
Using one monitor would be fine, it's just there would be times when I'm Alt-Tabbing myself to death.
When working in team or production environment "doing you work" can often mean referencing system or framework documentation, along with requirements documents. Not to mention relevant info contained in colleague communications.
Maybe everything just pours out of your head into the editor but I'm telling you that's not how it works in the vast majority of cases.
Justin Peterson
I don't buy a 2nd monitor out of fear that this leads me to being less efficient in situations where I have only 1. Switching virtual desktops only takes milliseconds and you can have as many of those as you want.
Jacob King
Virtual workspaces were created for this. Try a gnu linux operating system with GNOME desktop environment..
Jaxson Brown
Why emacs no has charity startup message like vim?
Isaac Carter
It depends. Game development is almost impossible on 1 monitor, especially when you need to test your game, and tune the parameters in the scripting language.
Benjamin Wilson
lol right. But isn't the whole point of being productive to make as much money as possible by any means necessary?
Matthew Ortiz
I agree with this guy. As a newbie I also find it a complete bitch to follow YT tutorials with just one monitor, but that's just me.
Luke Williams
>vim Fuck off
Wyatt Rivera
>watching tutorials I found your problem
Josiah Cox
Personally i just use 2 monitors cause i like to have api documentation open on the second monitor - makes it faster than switching betweenn documentation and your IDE. It's pure luxury of course and not necessary but it helps especially when you have shitty memory.
Ayden Jenkins
What would you suggest, trial and error? I have to start somewhere.
John Robinson
Idiot.
The life of a techie is one of constant learning. That may include Youtube (or some paid video learning series).
Daniel Green
>Prove me wrong.
Sure. If you're a real programmer, then the limiting factor for your productivity is not the speed at which you can edit text, since 90% of the time you'll be thinking and planning your code and only about 10% actually coding.
Vim/Emacs should only massively increase your productivity if you're a code monkey who spends a majority of the time mindlessly writing code.
>emacs+evil is pretty comfy though, get fucked IDE cucks
Thomas Edwards
>not even a programmer and use VIM over GUI bullshit
But it definitely doesn't help if you're using a standard keyboard.
Austin Robinson
If you watch YT tutorials you'll lack a lot of base knowledge on the subject and also absorb all of the bad practices from the NEETs who actually have time to make YouTube tutorials.
Do yourself a favor and get a decent book, learn from actual established programmers who have proof of mastery on the subject and years of experience, not from some random unemployed tutorial maker pajeet.
Ian Moore
Yea keep watching those videos man someday you'll get there, you learn by doing it and if you write it down properly you usually don't have to relearn everything. YouTube just distracts people, go get a class to watch individually a YouTube video and report back what they saw it will be lots of distraction during this test
Borland C/C++ gives me flashbacks I learned C with it in the early 1990s. Glorious 80x25 text on a 14" CRT. Sometimes I switched to 80x50 but it was too painful in the long term.
Hunter Rodriguez
99% of programmers are code monkeys. We'll all be replaced by AI soon enough.
Aiden Allen
I thought the second monitor was for stack overflow.
Liam Kelly
Or maybe they could fucking deal with it for productivity like a sensible adult would.
Jonathan Fisher
well there is that
Aaron Walker
>The more experienced the engineer, the more he is likely to use vim/emacs. Yeah, that is because experienced means he started when those were the common choices. There is literally no reason to not use something else nowadays.
Dylan Bell
It's like you haven't been on YouTube since 2006. Your participation is fascinating.
Jaxon Kelly
poor terry he deserves so much more at least he has Jesus
Jack Flores
I use vim exclusively at my job, but that's because I fucked up my setup, so I can only ssh into my devbox through putty.
I would say a good engineer can code anything in vim, except java.
Java development is completely untenable without an IDE, code completion, telling me when a function throws an exception, etc. The verbosity and its host of rules make it impossible to get anything done without at least eclim, which I can't install due to other reasons.
Good thing I'm a shitty dev who spends most of his time coding in python.
