I do. Well, except perhaps my query at the top so I can refine it if necessary.

The side effects in the scaffolding are purely an implementation detail. For non-interactive use (like a compiler) you could implement the program as a function taking and returning a string.

"indent" the program (for C) has been around for a while. The other nice thing about automated formatting is that everyone can edit code in their preferred format, as long as they convert it back before checking in (for readable diffs)

I think the comment advocates simpler solutions, not vim-golf style "compress as much as possible and use single-character variable names". The idea is to remove as much accidental complexity as possible, to focus on the essential. Signal-t

You have a wise co-worker.

Technically, you only know you didn't break the tests. But assuming well thought-out tests, that's a good indication that you haven't broken the code.

That's what I meant by "possibly" for other reasons. I wasn't sure whether you were enjoying it because of that. Sorry for doubting you :)

It is absolutely opinion. For a start, it precludes a sane implementation of focus-follows-mouse. Secondly, for frequently used commands, keyboard shortcuts will be faster anyway (I'm aware of the study you're probably going to mention, but

Alternatively, people are more used to writing with a pen than with their fingers.

Perhaps it wasn't obvious, but clearly it was obvious enough that MS came up with it too.

Timing may not be as simple as "first".

Me too, but possibly for other reasons (he's heard of blurbs, right?)

In that situation I'd likely as not just backspace to the offending location and continue typing. Although I have been known to map caps+hjkl to the arrow keys. (I'm assuming your situation is a typo while you're inserting a short string, r

Insert is not a mode. Well, technically it is. But don't think of it as one.

My issue here is that the for version is pretty much exactly "Just memorize this syntax and do it"

Well done! I know the feeling of working on things and never shipping. I recently decided to actually see a small program (vim plugin) all the way through from idea to documented, installable release. It's also highly bare-bones (around 10

Alternatively VsVim for Visual Studio. I prefer it, although I couldn't give any reasons why. It still fails the "Does it break flow by not implementing some feature or other?" test fairly frequently though. First thing that comes to mind i

That line made me think of the Hemingway quote: “Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don't know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and

I'm curious at your statement that white on black is unnatural.

I've recently stumbled across tarsnap. It's command-line, but if you're not afraid of that, it's very nice.

My worst experience on that front was with jekyll. Running jekyll without parameters compiles the source in the current directory, putting the output either in $PWD/_site, or wherever the config file for the project says. I was in the paren

I always thought the main argument for barefoot running was that it makes heel strikes and other things noticeably unpleasant, thus encouraging proper technique (forefoot striking). Source: I don't run, but I read an article once.

For the record, it's not that text editing 200% faster or whatever will make a significant difference in productivity. For me it's about removing one more impediment that gets me out of the state of flow. And I am more productive in that

The folks over at the (FASM forums)[ http://board.flatassembler.net/ ] can probably help a bit too, 'though obviously they're somewhat assembly-oriented. A lot of stuff will carry over, though.

I do wish you wouldn't use quotes around "CS" so much. What you were studying is exactly what computer science is. I agree it's probably a bad name for it. Maybe "computation science" would be better. Somehow people have this idea what "

Except that you can't import a class using "using" or "import", so you have to write Math.cos() everywhere. EDIT: I see below that Java has added "import static", but at that point you're in the situation where you have two things that are

Autocompletion is writing code for you. That's what we're talking about here, in large part.

No, pretty much just don't make the internet mad. Have I not been keeping up, and these attacks have all been linked back to Anonymous in some credible way? (I realise the problem with that question)
