There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.


Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!

Do you think it might be a good experience in terms of becoming a better programmer/user? Like, using the circumstance/constraint as a positive?

Not really, but you'd probably learn hotkeys much faster.

Yes, but more because you think of the blind who can't see a GUI than anything it does for your coding skills.

Vi/Emacs/modern IDE - all of them work about the same. You need to learn your tools, but since your speed to do input isn't the limitation hotkeys vs mouse is rarely a limit so long as you no the basic shortcuts of your editor.
