Do you have any evidence that “the industry” has made the change? My personal experience says the opposite. Unless you mean “new repositories use the new default name” which says more about people simply not caring rather than anything else.

No one is offended by that word, at some point we need to stop wasting time on pointless debates and move on. If I start tweeting that I find “main” offensive are we going to have to find another name?

I mean it’s China, they like this stuff. I had a picture taken there for some paperwork stuff and they photoshopped that thing till I looked 15 lol

Lol if you think gamers, especially on fedora, are anything more than a rounding error in the total user pool

Can these types of post include countries in the title? This USA defaultism makes the experience worse for everyone else with no benefit whatsoever

Are the cars shitty, or are they ranked 3rd?

That’s… Neither wrong, nor related to this article? Unless you have a crystal ball somewhere, that is?

Expats? You mean immigrants?

… Or as shown by the west for the past 150+ years

Wonder where you’re from

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?

How is this related to quiet quitting?

Your understanding of communist ideas are on a par on your spelling of it.

But no one keeps a 10 year Linux install when upgrading is a trivial command. That’s the whole point.

Also, this is advice you’re already being given for free, no one here cares if you stay on Windows or not. No one is going to help you more than that.

Is the second point supposed to be a negative rather than an implementation detail?

Anyway, vscode would probably work for you. Or try clion. Like VS, but with decent cmake support, clang integration, better auto complete, simpler tool chain management, faster index, no daily crash/hanging, better git/lab integration, cross platform support… Actually never mind, there is indeed nothing like VS IDE wise. Whatever that means

It is not ironic, half of Germans are protestants.

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.

People need to stop wanking over specs for a device that’ll be used 99% of the time to send text messages and watch YouTube videos

What do you need on a phone that takes 8gb+ ram?

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