The Benefits Of Open Source

The bell curve of IDE preferences shows the full spectrum of developer evolution. On the left, junior devs with barely enough experience to compile "Hello World" happily use free text editors. In the middle, the financially masochistic mid-level devs shell out hundreds for JetBrains subscriptions and swear their productivity justifies it. Meanwhile, on the right, battle-hardened senior devs who've seen IDEs come and go have circled back to Vim or some obscure terminal-based editor they've used since the Clinton administration. The truly enlightened know that paying for an IDE is just Stockholm syndrome with syntax highlighting.

Ah, the "Karen Inspect" linter - for when your code needs to speak to the manager of syntax. This satirical Python tool scans your code for "problematic" terms like master/slave and blacklist/whitelist, while enforcing ridiculous rules like "function names must be complete sentences with punctuation." Because nothing says "production ready" like code that passes HR's sensitivity training but can't actually run. My favorite part is flagging "temp" variables because "everything should be permanent!" - clearly written by someone who's never had to debug a 10,000-line legacy codebase at 2am. Next update will probably flag recursion as "self-centered behavior" and loops as "showing signs of obsessive tendencies."
