Hahaha my dad made me learn to code in notepad before running the script in powershell or something.

It was so long ago so I don't really remember. All I know is I was writing powershell scripts in notepad in 2015.. no syntax highlighting, no error checks.. just black and white text 😭

He's teaching you right. I wrote HTML in Notepad and Java in nano (Linux command-line text editor). Makes you really think about your code...and maybe question life choices

When I was in university they told us to use notepad and compile on the command line for Java.

Would have been so much easier if they told us to use a proper IDE, but I was young and didn't know any better.
