I kinda want a modern computer that comes with a book similar to how Commodore included one that had simple instructions on how to do pretty much everything, like making simple music all the way to programming it
you're right. nowadays a beginner would have to sift through a bunch of websites to figure out how to do it.
I wish it was just a website. You can't even download Android Studio or any other starter package without being forced into some kind of AI bloated IDE just to write "hello world".
I mean.... You can still technically use Eclipse if you're a masochist.... Android studio is head and shoulders above it despite all of the Jetbrains nonsense though
If you want to make a website, you still only need a text editor
If you want to make a C++/rust/go/python/Haskell/brainfuck application for something that isn't a phone? You still only need a text editor and a compiler
