Comment on Ask HN: Are authors of “how to be great developer” blogs great developers?parent

Comments

As a junior developer I once had a pair programming session with a more senior developer who was baffled that I don't rely on VS Code features like replace all, I don't copy-paste code from other sections of the application that roughly resemble the feature I'm building, etc.

So, while development is about thinking, delivery speed is always a factor, and they don't care if that speed comes from quick thinking, quick typing, quick replace all or quick copy-pasting.

But copy & pasting or using IDE features is more about consistency than speed. I.e. making sure you really did replace _all_
