I don't even use autocomplete. I know that autocomplete is, like, table stakes for the developer experience these days, but I just can't stand videogame shit happening in my field of vision whilst I'm coding, and I've learned to relish the extra effort of typing the whole name in every time, it's like a vocabulary word I can wield with power and precision, rather than relying on the machine to finish my thoughts for me.

> it's like a vocabulary word I can wield with power and precision, rather than relying on the machine to finish my thoughts for me. I like that point of view and generally code for fun that way. My biggest use for autocompletion is when working with unfamiliar Java APIs on a tight timeline.
