alt Hacker NewsMy first startup job after college I was astonished to find that one of our most productive engineers was a deaf furry who used Windows Notepad as his dev environment. His code always compiled first time and was nearly always right. It really was something to behold.

Not that many years ago (maybe 2012-2014), we were taught working with R using only the base-R. Its' native script editor was a Windows Notepad or something equivalent. We used this for years.. Professors as well. For some reason we didn't know about RStudio or any other fancy IDE.
