A story about coding in notepad #JavaScript - Qiita

At that time, I didn't have my own computer, so I coded as part of a club activity.
There were computers for club activities, but none of them worked properly, so we used the computers used in information classes.
So I couldn't freely install an IDE, but since I was only writing HTML, CSS and a little JavaScript, I used Notepad.
Although I omitted this from the introduction, in the spring of my second year of high school, I was invited to be in charge of ICT and joined an organization similar to a student council executive committee.
Just like in the club activities, there were computers in the executive office, but they couldn't be connected to the Internet, so we had no choice but to code in Notepad again.
Also, due to the impact of a certain pandemic, a large number of computers were distributed, but of course, since they were loaned out for use by the entire school, it was prohibited to install apps on them without permission.
...Even though I had three different computers, I was forced to use Notepad everywhere.
