From the software that powers our smartphones to the complex algorithms driving artificial intelligence, they are the builders of this digital era. They design, develop, and maintain the software systems that form the backbone of modern society, facilitating everything from financial transactions and internet communication to entertainment and healthcare.

Programming editors, also known as source code editors, are text editors that are specifically designed for programmers or developers to write the source code of an application or a program.
