I don't know if you know the feeling: it's like watching inexperienced chess players play -- you want to scream when you see them making dumb moves, but then the opponent also makes a dumb move, which makes it more funny than sad.
When I look over the shoulder of people who work like you describe your workflow, just like with chess, I feel this kind of mix of embarrassment and frustration -- it was so easy to do it right, yet you decided to do something silly instead.
shrug, im drastically faster than all my work mates not that thats a good benchmark, im not bothered and have stuff that works quite well for me. what i outlined above is worst case scenario with some huge IDEs like VS or a huge idea project. some projects i do entirely in vim. others i have to use 2 remote debuggers at once with a VM in the mix. im doubtful their advice would apply
Yeah, it's kind of how it happens. Your skills suck just a tiny bit less than of those around you, and you come to unwarranted conclusion that you are doing good.
Unfortunately, our industry has few small pockets where you can still find competent programmers every now and then, but you wouldn't see them using IDEA or VS Code. And then there's an ocean of... well, not even mediocrity, it's just hands down awful. Most programmers throughout their career will never see a competent programmer, and if they stay around will be promoted into management where they will lose the very modest skill they had. And the cycle will continue.
I don't want to support people who don't want to support themselves. Also, the commenter wasn't asking for support. They proudly believe that what they do is a legitimately good way to use their computer.
I've seen way too many people like that, and have an idea how that kind of belief is formed. I don't want to help those people. I want them gone.
