After spending 3 hours, finally figured it out, all I was missing, was ".toString()"

Didn't your IDE tell you something like "Variable x, cannot convert int to string"?

I made a code change previous night and next day, my server was running on new code changes and wasn't working.. after tons of diffs, realised yesterday single line code change was incorrect

@github something similar here too. I was under impression that server is wroking fine because it was showing login page properly :P
though later when i tried to login, came to know the issue. Then when i started fixing it, damn, other part of project that was working fine now was not working. Thannks to that "toString()"

@karmak i dont use IDE

@chiragiem36 any reason not using it?? It really increases debugging and coding skill and specially when you are having a large codebase.

@github But it does not make you a good one (Coder). Moreover, I don't like somebody eating up my RAM. Grunt alone eats around 1.5GB of my memory just for watching the changes.
And who needs IDE for Javascript. There are bundlers that can do the special tasks you need.

And when it comes to logic error, can IDE fix that too ?

@chiragiem36 I used to think the same. That ide doesn't make good coders and avoided always using IDE (avoided for 3 years and used sublime for all my Python codes).
It's helpful when you are working in production codes(where improving coding are driven by peer reviews) with huge codebase and jumping from functions to functions to trace the route...
It's a trade off if you talk about RAM.. what's your priorities for RAM allocation..
For JavaScript (only simple frontend stuffs like jquery), I generally end up using the browser console or online websites... For node or angular, IDE will improve development time which is precious..

I need the IDE, it points out my bad/lazy typing errors. Although after opening a few projects at once I do rely on a minimum of 12gb ram now..

Large projects !!... Now that is why we have bundlers and build tools
