Code editors Memes

The Olympic sharpshooter progression we never knew we needed! First, we've got the elite marksman with VS Code - the precision tool for developers who want intellisense and pretty colors. Then there's Sublime Text - for the speed demons who think waiting 0.2 seconds for an IDE to load is basically eternity. But then... Notepad++ enters the chat. It's like bringing a Honda Civic to a Formula 1 race - somehow still has a cult following. And finally, the punchline - regular Windows Notepad. The coding equivalent of shooting with your eyes closed while facing backward. No syntax highlighting, no plugins, just pure text and tears. The weapon of choice for those who enjoy suffering or have a production emergency at 2 AM on a server with nothing else installed. And yes, we're deliberately not mentioning a certain editor that requires a PhD to exit. You know the one.

Ah yes, the classic "programming languages are for humans" revelation that hits like a truck when you've been staring at assembly code for 12 hours straight. The bus driver's threat perfectly captures that senior dev energy when explaining to newbies why we need syntax highlighting, proper indentation, and comments. Meanwhile, somewhere a C++ developer is writing code that looks like someone headbutted the keyboard, muttering "it's perfectly readable" while their coworkers silently update their resumes.
