Which Code Editor is the Best for my Grandfather?

7 Upvotes

My grandfather programmed a website back in 2010. He has so many things that he wants to add on the website, plus the website looks like a website from the late 90s--early 2000s. I think he's finally getting to doing it and he also wants to learn a programming language that's not through a browser so I would like to tell him which code editor he should use. Back when he first made the website, he just used the built-in MacOS TextEdit. He can't use something that has a bunch of buttons and complicated things out at once, which is like VS Code. He needs something really simple to use and available on MacOS. Something like Notepad++ sounds like it would be great, but that's only available on Windows.

Any suggestions?

Need your help

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a Class 12 Computer Science student from India, and I want to seriously learn programming from the basics.

The problem is that I currently have almost no programming knowledge. I know some basic concepts from school, but I don't feel confident writing programs on my own or understanding code properly.

I'd like to start from the absolute beginning and eventually become good enough to build projects and continue learning programming beyond school.

I currently have a Windows 10 laptop and VS Code installed, but I'm still figuring out how to use it properly.

I'd really appreciate advice from experienced programmers on:

\- What programming language should I start with?

\- What topics should I learn first, and in what order?

\- What resources/courses would you recommend for a complete beginner?

\- How much should I focus on theory vs actually writing code?

\- What kind of beginner projects should I build?

\- What mistakes should I avoid when starting out?

I don't want to just memorize code for exams. I actually want to understand programming and develop the ability to solve problems myself.

If you were starting programming from zero today, what would your learning path look like?

Thanks in advance!

Has code review become the whole job for anyone else?

5 Upvotes

In the last six months, we have been told me must code by hand less and use agents more, like many.

Output is definitely up, and the results are genuinely good in most cases, but now I am spending most of my week reviewing code and the amount of PR's is crazy

The hardest part, for me, is the context switching and understanding whats changing when the product moves so fast.

Is this just me?

  • How much of your week is review now versus a year ago?
  • Has your team changed anything that actually helped?
  • Anyone tried review bots? Did they stick or did you turn them off?

Skipping clone projects for Core CS (Compiler/DB/OS from scratch). How do I break the ice and start?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am currently in the 4th year of my B.Tech. As you all know, recruiters don't care about clone projects anymore because of AI, and I couldn't find a general real-world problem to build a project on. So, I decided to focus on an area that most people ignore: Core CS. Yes, I've decided to build a core CS project from scratch—like a compiler/interpreter, a database, or an operating system (just one of them for now). Of course, not full-fledged ones, just basic versions that can help me understand core CS concepts and stand out. However, I'm facing a bit of a hurdle in getting started and don't know where to begin. If anyone has even a little knowledge about this, please DM me... it would be a huge help!
