i dont like typing. it is a waste of time and very slow and error prone method at least in my case. i have too big fingers and i make too much spelling errors(not related to fingers). i developed my own style copy/paste/search/replace method. simply i just copy paste tons of code(you cant type so fast) and replace names. removing redundand code is faster then typing new one :) you are not bored typing for the milionth time a for loop? :) dev environments suck with mouse, because people talk things like that(that mouse sucks and that you have to keep your hands on keyboard) and by that no one is spending time on developing dev environments for the mouse. and they are really flawed in this matter. vim and emacs suck at using mouse so please dont say mouse sucks. those editor suck at that. for years i was looking for tools good for my style of work until i figured out that no one makes them and my coding style is completly different from the one for which the tools are made for(i think people sit and type in the code as they go). you can find in many places that to be a dev you have to write code. that to be cool dev you have to type and use vim and there is no other way. which is bullshit. you want to make software faster? you have to operate on big chunks of code and not a single lines. the snippets suck also - you have to know them and interface is often clumsy by default. most of the things you have to remember(i think that makes being a dev hard). why we dont have starcraft like interface to dev?

upvoted because your experience is so diametrically opposed to mine that I find your message very interesting. One comment, though; when you say

> you are not bored typing for the milionth time a for loop?

I don't really follow you. Do you ever use a bicycle? You are not bored pushing for the millionth time the left pedal?

You could have already asked me if breathing makes me bored.

when i go ona a bike trip, i dont like wasting time on going through the neighborhood i know. so i take the train and go up to the more interesting part of the trip and have fun. do you know this trick?

also, i use i3, tmux, emacs and vscode on daily basis. i changed my unix experience(mostly cli) into something close to a roguelike game - shell scripting + fzf + make + direnv can make cool things together. the less typing the better, and faster.

I would be very interested to see a video of that. I'm always happy to see different setup.
