    Compiler/interpreter: Can’t find variable farfignewton.

    Earlier:

    Me: Declare variables near, far

    IDE: Oh! You mean farfignewton right? I found that in some completely unrelated library you didn’t write. Allow me complete that for you while you’re not paying attention.

        I mean, if you want something dumb you can use any text editor.

            No I’m good with smart IDEs. Anyway don’t people set up Vim as practically an IDE these days anyway? That’s what Vim users always tell me.

              The advantage there is that you pick and choose how you turn things on, so you leave out the annoying bits.

          One thing most text editors can do is print. I was shocked the other day when I couldn’t print a readme from vscode when someone asked for hard copy.

      near, far

      The obvious autocomplete is , wherever you are

      I try my best to make my IDEs follow the principal that I should be able to type without looking at the screen, but apparently IDEs are really invested in return accepting completions to the point it’s often not configurable even when every other key is.

      Visual Studio: PROPERTY DOESN’T EXIST ON TYPE!! NOTHING EXISTS ANYMORE!!! REALITY HAS COLLAPSED!

      Me: What? I haven’t even touched that class, let me check.

      Visual Studio: Oops, nevermind, héhé 🙃
