Just wonder, how much does Intellicode actually save? Anyone has any experience?
My own take is that the saving probably isn't going to be significant, and will never be so. Because the bottleneck of programming is never caused by the speed of typing, but by the speed of thinking.
- cdrini 5y agoI don't know if there are any studies on this. Personally it saves me a ton of time and mental energy. I don't have to remember the folder hierarchy when importing a function; I just reference it, ctrl+. (or whatever in your editor), and it autoimports. I don't have to remember or check whether it's SVG or Svg in this variable name. I don't have to remember what the fields of this parameter are, and so on. I don't get it wrong, build the thing, try it out, get a runtime error, and have to go back to square one to fix it. I think intellisence is useful specifically because it lets me stay in the realm of thinking about the problem/code, and avoid having to context switch to manage the details/minutia of coding.
- nsoonhui 5y agoAre we talking about the same thing? You seem to be talking about intellisense ( which is there for ages in visual studio) and I am talking about intellicode, which was launched as recent as 2 years ago.
- cdrini 5y agoMy apologies! I misread and thought you'd written intellisence. I thought you were talking about the realm of autocompleting tools in general. My bad!
