I disagree that a person with low IQ would think its possible to code using a simple text editor. If anything he needs IDE more than any one else.

Yeah, it doesn't fit the template but the low IQ version would be more like "You only need ChatGPT for coding."

Every self-taught programmer I've seen starts off hacking at something in Notepad.

I started with mIRC script editor, which was only a tiny step above notepad.

Depends on where you start. When your first contact is HTML its not too unusual to use a text editor for development.

I interpreted it more like saying the first place people learn to code, especially if you're not self taught, is in a text editor like vim or emacs.

I think that's how this meme is mostly used (least knowledgeable to most) but if we are getting pedantic we have to acknowledge the axis is labeled.
