When I first started programming I used a text editor, UltraEdit32. When I moved into .Net, I initially used Ultraedit and wrote all my own build files, but switched to using Visual Studio with all the bells and whistles. When I moved to Python/Node I adopted Vim, and these days I tend to use Doom Emacs.

There's a spectrum from visual studio or eclipse, with complex project structures, through vscode and rider which are simpler, to programmers editors like Emacs or neovim, to plain editors like nano.

I think the most important thing is that you're comfortable with your tools. I could crunch out a lot of code with Visual Studio and Resharper, but I use Emacs as an IDE, note taking tool, and email client . The familiarity makes me productive.

It is super helpful to have syntax errors or warnings highlighted when working on code, and a decent editor will make it easier to navigate code - jump to the definition of a function, find the documentation for an API call etc.

As codebases get larger, you need all the help you can get. You may also find, when you work with others, that their opinionated tooling clashes with your opinionated hand crafting.

Well that's what I mean by "islands of trust". If an instance has a habit of banning people for dubious reasons, other instances would have to just ignore their bans, and that makes it dicey to federate with them at all. It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out over the next few weeks.

I wholly agree, but that photo has been on my camera roll for years waiting for just the right discourse.

Agreed on all points! It turns out Lemmy has a mechanism for federating block lists. What will be interesting is when instances disagree about bans. If you get banned from an instance because - hypothetically - you disagree with the actions of one government or another, it's not obvious to me that other instances should repeat the ban.

Will we end up with islands of trust?

I think they meant they've seen one Russian troll on Lemmy already, not that skidface is a Russian troll.

I ... Have to assume so, anyway

It's a hypnic jerk.

They'd no single agreed on cause, but they happen during the transition from wakefulness to sleep.

What's the current setup, if you don't mind me asking?
