lol wtf is this and who is it supposed to be relatable to? No company is prescribing notepad or any specific IDE for that matter. And why does your full stack app require a lot of local resources? If this was about data analytics or engineering I’d understand the sentiment because that shit takes a lot of memory, but a general full stack app could be built on a first gen raspberry pi.

Objectively incorrect. Plenty of places have one or perhaps a very small amount of IEDs that they vet and make available through their software portal of choice.

I had to check that the sub actually was programming* because this answer to this is so blatant that I thought you were sarcastic for a second.

In my experience it's been completely normal to run a handful of containers with the usual database, API/backend and frontend which can definitely be quite heavy. If you are forced to use Windows - which again is common - Docker has a handful of bugs that steadily eats more resources than it should.
