Definitely prefacing this with the fact I use “just” a text editor and terminal so obviously I am biased.

I couldn’t agree with you more. I feel like at some point in a career, a developer should try to shove off from an IDE if that is their daily driver.

I also feel this way about high level languages.

Speaking personally, I have ALWAYS benefited by doing those uncomfortable deep dives.

Agree 100%. Moving off an IDE fixed my impostor syndrome and instantly made all my code more readable and maintainable. Even my manager has commented on how much profit our team is generating ever since we moved to text editors.
