Text Editor

You want to roll up your sleeves with a text editor. Here I'm talking about what choices you got.

vim or Emacs

The OG one to use is vim, you can't get away with it since you will gonna need it when doing server configurations (sometimes you might need to do it).

Here's a guide on vim.

And another text editor gurus like to use is Emacs (they all claim themselves to be 10x developer).

Here a guide on Emacs (you'll have to rememeber a lot of key combinations, that's probably why I can't be a 10x developer).

VScode

VScode is de-facto most popular text editor which had front run Atom & Sublime Text.

The reason it won is the rich support of plugins and the fact that it was backed by Microsoft (maybe). Anyway, VScode is always improving (I remember I used to open VSCode, my fan won't stop, now I open VSCode, it's indeed smoother, probably my laptop has evolved).

Its guide can be found on the official site.
