When you work with huge codebases, 80% of the time is spent reading/navigating code. The IDE hides the boilerplate, I really don't mind it.

- raducu 6y agoNot really -- the IDE overview means it doesn't really matter if the codebase is 1X or 2X or 3X the amount of lines. Then, I just think, excluding some horrendous language and some corner cases, experienced programmers are limited by their brain and not the programming language, just like certain languages that are more verbose are spoken faster and terser languages are spoken slower, but the information flow is done at the same speed.
