How do non-students get their IDE's?
I couldn't imagine working without Visual Studio Enterprise + ReSharper and all the Jetbrains tools, but I wouldn't by them myself (because I'm a poor student)...so how do you guys do it?

Well, non-students (and many students as well) usually earn money in exchange for their work. Having money really helps with buying things.

Microsoft has a student program that can help you with free software and resources. Most companies do.

Either your work pays for it or you have to find free open source Tools (which are awesome most of the time).

Visual Studio Community Edition is free. There's some caveats, but I use it.

Eventually you start man minding it and develop solely in nano for arch Linux, jk we pirate it

Wait there are other dev tools besides nano?

You can have JetBrains for free. Install the beta every month. The EAP program

@daarkfall 😂 everyone avoiding the truth

@RazorSh4rk praise vim!
Or the Church of Emacs for that matter.

I am a student and I don't intentionally use any paid program that is free for us. I don't want to be dependent on them. I enjoy VSCode with vim and other plugins.

@tahnik don't put yourself out. Your employer will likely pay for your IDE if you're in the US/EU.

@Retiixx Glad I'm not the only one doing that.

@starless I know, I am doing my internship right now (part of degree). I get Visual Studio Pro and QT enterprise edition from them. Most of the time I do my coding in vscode because it has my preference saved. It does a great job for coding. For debugging I switch to IDE.

Learn to compile from CLI.
Plenty of excellent editors out there.😉

@mhudson you CAN. I did for years. There are better interfaces out there.

Visual Studio is free. ReSharper has a free student license. There ya go

When you tweak eclipse it is superb, but you have to Invest some time. Also vsCode is awesome.
