i would be much easier for people to get the vaccine and booster if they could take a few days off work to get the jab and recover, shame so many people can't afford that or work in jobs that won't allow it, if only there was some sort of governing body that could enforce such protections, tragic really

advice seeking, home/personal programming setup (thread now boostable )
also there's no good code friendly/non-rtf text editor on mac by default and I'm not desperate enough to set up wine just to get notepad++ working, so that first option is more like "program in something like vim or maybe as fancy as nano, and then build via command line"
which is honestly my comfort zone, but i feel like they're Expecting me to have an actual ide...
advice seeking, home/personal programming setup (thread now boostable )
Okay so I've got an interview on Monday and they want to go through live programming exercises on a screenshare rather than a more traditional ask me conceptual and personality questions and chat about the team and their projects.
I have been advised that I don't need to install anything new as long as I have a setup on my personal machine in which i can build and run my code.... but the problem is, i don't, really
code is my JOB so i do very little of it at home to avoid burnout. And on the rare occasion i want to build an open source project, I pull it and then usually just open the readme and run whatever script invokes the project's build script(s) via command line and this is inevitably slightly different for every project. And requires constructing specific build scripts which is my least favorite part of building code.
so I'm trying to decide:
I think the company is looking to fill a C++ role. so do i...
...plan to program in a text editor and just put a simple g++ command into my terminal history and hope they don't expect me to do anything complex requiring h files and adding dependencies in the right order?
...download eclipse and say "for home projects i like to use an ide but this is what i have so let's do all the examples in java is that okay"?
visual studio licensing is weird and I'm not actually particularly familiar with VS Code, but i suppose it's an option to download one of those and figure it out ENOUGH in a single weekend just by fooling around with no actual project in mind?
...Or, here's the actual advice-requesting part of my toot: does anyone have any other suggestions for IDEs that play nicely with both c++ and macOS? (yes yes i know, but i initially got it in a choice of 'not windows' and don't fix what's not broken and my mac laptop has been fine and functional for the minimal personal use i put it through - mostly tax filing and craft organizing - so i haven't put the money into replacing it.)
