It depends on the language you are using. Sometimes it can be useful to see more than the first error message to understand the problem.
I find all the squiggly lines and annotations that Resharper adds to the code quite helpful. These are a kind of low key way of indicating minor issues with the code. I find that appropriate for things like coding style violations because they often aren't an immediate concern because I want to get things working first. But they are a good reminder of the open cleanup work once that is done.
- badsectoracula 7y agoI think it depends on more than just the language... i find the squiggly lines very distracting and brings me a bit of anxiety, like someone being over my shoulder looking at my code and going "hey, you forgot a semicolon over there" and i'm like "YES I KNOW, i just noticed something else that i want to edit a few lines above, i'll fix it, leave me alone" :-P.
- gmueckl 7y agoI don't have any problems with that at all. I confess that I have a kind of a disconnect with people like you who seem to be easily distracted by this. I don't understand it. I am not thinking that you are wrong or anything like that - it's on me. This is mostly my confusion talking right now. Sometimes I wonder whether this is somehow related to a quest for clean/simplified (or, as some might say, dumbed down) user experiences in other situations. Also, is this in general more of a thing in America compared to the rest of the world?
