Typing is, or at least it should be, the least of your time spent during the day doing programming. I don't find optimizing the 5-10% of my workday spent typing

Typing is, or at least it should be, the least of your time spent during the day doing programming. I don't find optimizing the 5-10% of my workday spent typing impressive, or even worth mentioning.
Granted there are languages where typing takes much more time, like Java and C# but... eh. They are quite overdue for finding better syntax anyway! :)
- NoGravitas 2y agoThe languages where typing takes more time also tend to have IDE support to mitigate that --- in a deterministic way, unlike CoPilot.
- pdimitar 2y agoTrue.
- knowaveragejoe 2y agoI didn't mean typing in the sense of autocomplete, I meant typing in the sense of stubbing out an entire class or series of test cases. It gives me scaffolding to work with which I can take and run with.
- pdimitar 2y agoYes that's fair. If it helps reduce writing boilerplate then I'm all for it.
