I spend 90% of my time just staring at code not moving my fingers anyway
Yes, the perfect way to always be productive, cause you won't be able to exit it.
I don't think so. Programmers don't spend most of their time typing and rushing around on the pc. But most time is spent thinking. That is where the good ideas come from. Remember, in programming, less means more
Tell me you’re a wannabe programmer without telling me you’re a wannabe programmer
As a programmer, a great way to go fast is not wasting time learning a new set of hotkeys and shortcuts every week. A trick is using icons whenever you see them.
Would be cool if you made a full guide to all the shortcuts you use
There was a time when I bought into this entirely, but I've since realized that there is a balance. Common hotkeys across basically all software (like save, cut/copy/paste, undo) and hotkeys for common actions that are otherwise hidden in menus (re-open last tab in browser, go to last cursor location in JetBrains) are worth doing. Beyond that, I'd rather reduce the cognitive load and just navigate places with a mouse. It doesn't take that long, and it saves me the hand pain from using too many modifier keys.
Its easier to navigate around google, stack overflow, and chatgpt using my mouse. Programming is more than just typing the code. :P
Thanks man this is very useful
The 5 hours i spend typing is nothing compared to the days it takes for me to fix a simple bug 😢
I am quite okay with my time being taken, I am not very okay with everyone's and server's time being taken , So I will sit back, relax and take a lot of time to write codes, that's the workflow I follow and I'd love to keep it that way.
thank you for the tips
Me searching stack overflow how to reverse an array : Yes, using the mouse is my biggest problem 👍
The speed you can code matters a 0.00000001% regarding how good you are as a programmer.
As a programmer the longest time is not spend writing the code, it's to scrolling through stackoverflow. So no, mouse is important because it has scroll wheel.
Depends on the IDE. If you do game design you can forget about losing mouse. Also sublime text with the column editing using the mouse wheel button saves a ton of time
I've never clicked on a save button in IDEs or text editors and now I am proud of myself. :)
ok, imma use my drawing tablet to tap the save icon instead 🤣🤣🤣
I spend a huge part of my day coding and I didn’t think Vim would ever be useful until today when I had to refactor a bunch of code on a remote machine that could not run Vscode server. I know for a fact I could have done it 10x faster if I knew vim.
