- VS Code's convenience features can limit deep understanding of fundamental programming operations.
- Terminal-based development forces learning of Git, file operations, debugging, and coding without auto-completion.
- Understanding tools deeply makes programmers more capable and flexible in various environments.
- Real-world scenarios like server hotfixes or remote debugging require terminal proficiency, not IDE knowledge.
- Ditching VS Code leads to better problem-solving, flexibility, and efficiency through discomfort and learning.
- The challenge is to gradually shift to terminal use for Git, text editing, and debugging to build transferable skills.
