> I've got an abstraction that I think in that then needs to be translated to code. e.g. if I want to append to a list, I think "push to list", regardless of language/framework/whatever. Then somehow my hands will translate that automatically to code in the language I'm working in. If I'm not in my usual editing environment, that magic just sort of breaks, and I just look incompetent.
Thank you for putting all of that into words that I can look at and go: that's exactly how my brain works!
I don't think everyone has that issue or can understand it. I think in more abstract terms (the problem and how to solve it) and more often than not the syntax is just an implementation detail that I prefer to increasingly outsource to my tooling.
