One time I struggled debugging a program on a clean Windows machine. For some reason it seemed like it couldn’t find a JSON file that’s obviously in the system. I could even open the file on my own and view its contents.

Turns out after much frustration that the file was actually a json.txt file. I didn’t notice because the extension was hidden, so I only saw .json and thought it was fine.

Step 5 in meme: add '.txt' to seemingly text files.

sounds like vscode.

helix or micro on windows to get away from that garbage.

Notepad is the one that does things like that, because they want you to only use it for *.txt files. VSCode does not have issues like that.

In this case I used notepad because it was a fresh Windows install on some VM.
