Whatever you used for that before LSP.
Oh right ...
You should try turning off those features yourself for at least a month and see what happens ;) You’ll learn the answers yourself, much better than us trying to explain them. You’ll learn where all the reference docs live for your language, libraries, and frameworks, and along the way you’ll learn more by actually reading the docs. You’ll learn the value of good project organization and file naming, and explicit impo…
To think that some people are still writing code like in the 70's. Not using productivity tools is just hurting you. I don't know what sort of misplaced sensation of superiority doing things the hard way may bring to you, but please don't give bad advice like this to young people. If they want to experience writing code without the help of modern tools, they can just use one of the so many languages whose tooling suc…

To think that some people are still writing code like in the 70s . This is a muddled hyperbolization. These features barely existed (in terms of widespread use) even 10 years ago, but everyone got along just fine, even founded FAANG-scale companies without them, and so on. Yet you're making it sound like if you aren't using them, then you're basically still writing COBOL. Not using productivity tools is just hurting…

> Text search will also find commented out usage, docu, changelog, and my .org file with refactoring ideas from last month Yes, when searching across the entire project for text an instant fuzzy search is an invaluable tool. > It will also show when a class with the same method names exists elsewhere Oh, this is a great example when a code -aware tool is better. I also ave a rant-ish about LSP at the end. So, let's s…
You seem weirdly angry that some other people like to work in a different way than you like to work. People like different things. You still get to like your thing.
I work almost exclusively in Emacs without the modern LSP-based tools. I believe I do keep more in my head than programmers that use more advanced IDEs. In code I have control over myself I avoid imports that doesn't enumerate all imported symbols. That is I always use the import Library (symbol) syntax in Haskell and never do wildcard import in Python. When coding C I sometimes use tags so that I can go to definitio…

I moved to an EV from an automatic transmission, and I’m pretty much used to one pedal driving now (using regen to slow down and stop most of the time). No gears at all took awhile to get used to, but now it just seems a better way to drive. Manual transmissions get a bit stressful on steep hills, and so I don’t really miss them much accordingly.
Yeah EV is the bee's knees. No sudden surprise from some automatic transmission computer deciding to suddenly jolt you for no reason. And as you say, "engine braking" with an EV is just "press the brake. It'll regen when possible". In terms of driving comfort, my preference is EV, then manual, then automatic. But I would feel differently if I spent much time in bumper to bumper traffic. That's the one time manual is…
We have steep hills where I live, and yes you can learn, but your clutch shelf always then have to remember how to stop and restart on a hill.
I've never used an IDE to write code, though I have tested a few out on the recommendation of others. For 30+ years, I've only used these plain-text editors in this order: Vi, Vim, NeoVim, Emacs, Kakoune, and now Helix (I used Vim for most of that time). I guess I keep everything in my head and use reference materials when I forget something. IDEs bother me. I enjoy working in the terminal and have always found using…

Do you have a better name suggestion?
They said it in their first comment: dynamic typing
Pretty much anywhere you’ve got grep, and if you’ve got grep you can find anything in a reasonable amount of time.
The tools are great when they work well, but if you become too dependent on them you wind up at the mercy of other people in certain situations: notably when the tools are broken and need fixing.
