CLion is IMO by far the best option out there, short of going the editor-as-ide road (vim emacs etc).

QtCreator is good, but only better feature wise for qt/qmake projects.

VSCode is difficult to setup, the billions of plug-ins all lack something. I remember struggling to get remote debugging to work properly, I think because I couldn’t override the default gdb flags to use local symbols (downloading 10gb of debug symbols every run, thanks but no thanks). Amongst other things I can’t recall. It’s probably a decent IDE for JS or hobby projects but I cannot recommend this for a professional environment.

I’m not gonna bother discussing VS.

What else is still around and actively developed? Codeblocks? Netbeans?

This kind of article really gives a “never meet your heroes vibe”.

At least for the brain-dead C++ push. The language is unfortunately not going away with all the millions of crappy legacy code out there, but please let the kids move on with the times.

90% of C++ knowledge is language specific UB crap that has nothing to do with software development anyway. Pushing the language in 2025 makes you look like a Luddite. Any combination C/Rust + Python/C# + OCaml/Haskell ought to teach you a bit of everything, without having to learn the difference between auto and decltype(auto), a billion initialisation options, a billion value-types, and whatever crap is going to generate 100 lines of undecipherable template errors

Confusing article, or the writer has no damn clue what those jobs were for in the first place.

If your workplace lets you run a VPN on their device/network they’re probably not looking through your traffic

The analogy works fine, the problem here isn’t about pirating, it’s about bandwidth

It doesn’t take a genius to guess a forwarded port is used for torrenting though

Not sure how you manage to draw conclusions by comparing two different fields.

That’s what they wrote

I don’t see why your statement highlights a problem with code reviews?

White Persian?

Do our USAian overlords now require us to submit names to ensure those won’t be mispronounced on purpose? You people are insufferable.

This is another example of Schrödinger’s NATO, where actions perpetrated by the USA is blamed on the entire organisation, yet NATO is a symbol of Western imperialism.

Which is it? If all of NATO but the USA want one thing, and the USA overthrows your government, is it NATO’s fault or rather the USA’s? Are tankies blaming Iraq on NATO too?

Not true, but don’t let me change your mind!

I’ve always been appalled by those who calibrate their morals based on the legal framework, rather than the other way around. Hopefully wherever you live doesn’t start allowing slavery, child marriage etc. Following the law was quite during the 40s too, ask Coco Channel. Who can blame her?

Not only are you being a condescending prick, you also cannot be bothered to be right. What a waste of a human life.

No need you can just get an llm to convert your JavaScript into COBOL

It calls Twitter X, so to answer the last question: no

If you don’t, you quit. See Boeing.

I hope anyone old enough to be browsing English-speaking Lemmy already knows that, but sadly some education systems are… Inadequate

Do you own the servers your company use? The software you write? Etc.
