This is me.

The invention of the symbol name spellchecker a decade or so back has been a wonderful boon for me. It's a little annoying to teach it the new jargon when I'm getting started in a new codebase, but it's easily a net time saver. Catching spelling errors when you first create the new symbol is always cheaper than fixing them after it's being referenced from 15 different files and can't be fixed without another code review.
