Comment on The subjective experience of coding in different programming languages (2023)

Comments

I fully agree with everything mentioned.

I think this synesthesia idea bumps into the concepts of comfort and understanding. In that I feel it also extends to the environment im in and the tools im using. Like if I switch to a different type of keyboard or the monitors are positioned weirdly; or especially if im not using a certain IDE or developing without a language server.

Being immersed in software development, and the different ways we do it, can be a visceral and emotional experience.
