if your IDE writes 30-40% of code for you it just means your language needs at least 30-40% more code than it should to cleanly describe the algorihtm. (not dissing C# here, just all IDE-aised languages)
- cies 15y agonot entirely true. some languages are very-IDE-aidable but verbose (java and c# come to mind), some are not very IDE-aidable but less verbose (ruby and python come to mind, various LISP variants also fit here I guess). but that is not hard rule as, for instance, haskell is potentially-very-IDE-aidable AND less verbose. now only the haskell IDEs need to mature :) but this is a mater of time.
- Too 15y agoIf my IDE writes 40% of my code it means i can call my functions ConnectToDatabaseCheckUserNameAndCountPosts() instead of ConDBusrCnt() just to save a few taps on the keyboard.
- justncase80 15y agoThough arguably that should be three different functions: ConnectToDatabase() CheckUserName() CountPosts()

- v-yadli 15y agoSorry for the formatting, the reply box on Android is malfunctioning.
- Too 15y agoObviously that's not taken from any real code but just the most obscure function name that still makes sense that i could make up in my head while writing the reply. ...But even after splitting it into three functions you would still save 60% of your keystrokes by using auto completion ;) Con()ENTERChec()ENTERCou()ENTER
- Produce 15y agoVim doesn't write any code for me yet I can still have long function names because of the cutting edge magic of auto-completion.
- k_bx 15y agoConnectToDatabaseCheckUserNameAndCountPosts() should be 3 functions, not one.
