nixCraft 🐧Anti bloat IDEs. The good old days when you didn't need an internet connection, an API key/LLM subscription to write more bloat. People still built awesome games, apps, and solved real life scientific problems.
svenk@nixCraft IDEs were the most bloat software you could load at these days. I remember Eclipse and NetBeans and I hated it. Boreland also was a gatekeeper which prevented people learning programming. I discovered C++ with GCC and a simple text editor.
Ironically, modern IDEs are rather lightweight, in particular osscode without plugins.
