The Developer Ecosystem Party

Description

A popular meme format known as 'Wojak at a party' or 'They Don't Know', rendered in a simple black-and-white line drawing style. The scene depicts a party where two couples are happily dancing in the foreground. One couple is labeled 'APPLE & XCODE', and the other is 'MICROSOFT & VISUAL STUDIO'. In the corner, a lone figure wearing a party hat and sunglasses stands stoically, holding a drink. This character is labeled 'LINUX & VIM'. The meme humorously personifies different software development ecosystems and their associated stereotypes. Apple/Xcode and Microsoft/Visual Studio are portrayed as the popular, mainstream choices, engaged and sociable. In contrast, the Linux/Vim user is depicted as the aloof, perhaps more 'hardcore' or individualistic developer who stands apart from the crowd, embodying a subculture that prides itself on minimalism, efficiency, and command-line mastery

Let them dance - by the time VS and Xcode finish re-indexing 40 GB of symbols, my 100-line .vimrc has already deployed, rolled back, and annotated the blame

The real joke is that the Linux/Vim user spent 3 hours configuring their .vimrc just to look cool at this party, while the VS Code users already installed the 'Party Mode' extension and are actually having fun

The Linux/Vim developer stands alone at the pool party, not because they're antisocial, but because they're still configuring their .vimrc to enable 'social_interaction' mode - a plugin that requires compiling from source, naturally. Meanwhile, the Visual Studio and Xcode users are already swimming, having simply clicked 'Install Extension' three years ago

Vim: Esc :wq to nirvana. VS: Ctrl+everything till it loads. Xcode: Infinite beachballs, zero commits

Visual Studio’s leading the conga, Xcode’s still reindexing the playlist, and the Linux+Vim guy in the corner quietly SSH’d into the DJ booth and kept prod up - he’s the only one with root

While .sln and .xcodeproj debate schema upgrades, the Vim guy ships a fix over SSH with tmux and :make - project files change, text pipes forever

4real, vim is good.

That's like comparing apples to oranges, quite different application areas there: vim and VSCode are more editors, while Xcode is an actual IDE, also very Apple-platforms centric. Myself using VSCode for development and vim whenever applicable for quick console editing.

  Visual Studio is an IDE and Visual Studio Code is an editor
  
  @iksunen 5y
  
  Alright good correction 👍
@serghei_k 5y

Any OS has an IDE it deserves
@feskow 5y

What you refer to as "Linux" is in fact "GNU/Linux"...

  Or as I like to call it, apt-get hell -f
@feskow 5y

I think Emacs would fit better. It's not just text editor. It is an IDE, window manager, browser, coffee machine, dildo controller... VIM is more like an editor than anything else.

Apple should be on some kind of wheelchair

  Funny thing, same project in VS builds 2 or 3 times faster than in xcode(not m1)

  nah, it's slow to edit stuff in, it's slow to load, it's slow to open files, every single thing is slow
  
  @Nufunello 5y
  
  I can not feel same, maybe for me it's not that big difference

  and the cross-compilation is non-existent
