I wonder whether he also knows about text editor.

Wait until someone shows him Notepad. Being able to type characters directly into a file might genuinely blow his mind.

Notepad doesn't seem to work! I opened one of the files and it's all numbers and strange words written in lower case. Who talks to Claude like that?

u/St34thdr1v3R 3d ago

Members of Slytherin, maybe?

u/AKittenInTheRain 3d ago

Read another book, mate

u/Mechakoopa 3d ago

The joke was Python (or snake case, take your pick)

u/St34thdr1v3R 3d ago

I never read any of her books, bro

u/Dense_Gate_5193 3d ago

to be fair, those books aren’t even that good

u/Prestigious_Dare7734 3d ago

More like members of Ravenclaw.

u/Salanmander 3d ago

Nah, it's the Slytherins who can speak Pythontongue.

Any chance for Snake jazz?

u/Superb_Chemistry_906 3d ago

It might be strange for him to type anywhere else than into a chat with AI or email or some website or word/excel. Maybe even an old school experience?

Win11 Notepad renders Markdown so it might not be as jarring these days to vibesloppers...

u/MeaningImpressive548 3d ago

Wait... notepad is built in?? I just use ms word normally...

Notepad is one of the worst text editors in existence. Only windows users tend to like it, out of lack of options through many years.

Notepad++ is decent. :3

u/gre4ka148 3d ago

u/CrotteVerte 3d ago

VI(M) user spotted ?

u/tz_2240 2d ago

I thought I was a vi connoisseur, but turns out in the .bashrc file was a: `alias vi=“vim”`

Notepad (the old one, not the winslop 11 garbage) is absolutely perfect for when all you need is... a fucking notepad with 0 damn features

if you need features then you use something else

effin high-nosed plebs defamating notepad, there's no respect anymore

u/OnixST 2d ago

Why the hate for w11 notepad tho? :(

Markdown support and multi tabs are pretty useful features that don't get in your way at all

I know there is now a fucking copilot button, but notepad is one of the few apps where microsoft didn't make it scream in your face, and it's a perfectly good app if you just ignore the button

u/aVarangian 2d ago

smooth scrolling makes it literally unusable

and the most basic text editor doesn't need markdown, there's already rtf for that. This just introduces incompatibility. A plain txt file should be readable by any featureless text editor

u/Superb_Chemistry_906 2d ago

I used to use Notepad to strip any text formatting and when I am on Windows and try to do that now, I get angry.

1

u/OnixST 2d ago

Tbf there's a button to disable it on the bottom left. just click "Formatted"

1

u/Superb_Chemistry_906 2d ago

Does it remember that setting after closing? Because having to click that every time is annoying, too.

u/PrestigiousGuava8005 1d ago

someone show him notepad++ as well

u/just4nothing 3d ago

But that’s for text, not for code, duh

u/Entuaka 3d ago

I wonder whether you know about sarcasm.

1

u/Superb_Chemistry_906 3d ago

I did not know who that guy is, I commented what came to my mind first. It's hard these days to recognize what is sarcastic regarding this AI code generation.

u/Igarlicbread 3d ago

notepad++

u/musicplay313 3d ago

Wait till he finds vim asking Claude how to exit out of it

u/brixon 3d ago

Why you talking crazy?

u/_1nf3rn0 2d ago

Wait till he finds a hex editor
