Switched from VS Code to Notepad++ for a week and it broke my brain
Okay tbh I was getting frustrated with all the bloat in VS Code for tiny little projects. So I decided to go full minimalist and use Notepad++ for a whole 7 days straight. No syntax highlighting, no auto complete, no nothing. Day 3 I spent like 45 minutes trying to figure out why my Python code wasn't running. Forgot I needed to manually save the file as .py and run it from the command line. Has anyone else ever tried stripping down your tools only to realize you just made everything harder?

Day 3 was wild, I almost ragequit and reformatted my whole laptop.

That third day always separates the quitters from the survivors.

Isn't day three where you finally start figuring things out though?
