minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•7 months agoWindows is a nightmare for development. Linux is generally not an option, so a UNIX based system is still easier than windows
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink0•7 months agoFor C++/C I used to agree, but now with WSL it’s easy.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•7 months agoMy problems come with Java (versioning is a pain), JavaScript, Node, etc C/C++ is probably the second easiest after C#
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•7 months agoNode really? nvm makes it very easy, or using choco
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•7 months agoDespite trying at least 6 times, I’ve never been able to successfully start a node project on windows. No such problems on Linux or Mac. I tend to do my dev work at home with an Ubuntu server VM and ssh into it from my windows desktop now. Find that it’s the best of both worlds.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•7 months agoWSL wasn’t a thing when I started with that, and it still doesn’t do everything I want it to, so I much prefer to not use WSL at all and instead manually manage the VM. There’s nothing wrong with the WSL approach, it’s just not one I like
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•7 months agoAh yes, I love WSL deciding to consume 12 of my 16gb of memory
