That may be true- but, that doesn’t help navigate the evil known as corporate billing and bureaucracy.
Trust me, some companies can be an absolute pain in the ass when it comes to getting funding… for even cheap stuff.
Before the software can even be acquired, the legal team has to review contracts. Then, payroll/billing/accounts receivable has to setup their junk. Vendors have to sign invoices.
As much as I wish it was as easy as just creating an account, and entering my paypal- it doesn’t work that way in many large companies.
Fair point. I’ve experienced that in big corps, so I now you’re right. For example, we would lose a bunch of time because the PCs didn’t have enough memory, but they couldn’t get us more RAM sticks, because of the bureaucracy, it could take 2 years or so.
After nearly 6 years of fussing about my PCs hardware, I DID finally get a massive upgrade… and became the owner of some of the fastest hardware my company had to offer.
Compile times, and everything was BLAZING fast.
Then… cyber rolled out a few new security agents. Nothing is fast anymore. :-(
Depends on the language.
For .net, it’s pretty hard to beat.
For anything else, I use vscode. Its a great all-around IDE/editor.
I prefer Rider over VS but I like VS Code too
I hear lots of people say good things about rider- but, I have yet to actually try it out.
Mostly- because, getting my company to spend $$$ on tools… is like pulling teeth.
In most countries, a license for a year is worth less than a day of service…
