I guess I’m so old that I remember time without autocomplete. Where programmers just knew what functions existed and how to use them. Usually by looking them up in a manual and then -gasp- remembering them. Languages shouldn’t be optimized for laziness or not using your brain.

“Shut up old man” yes yes okay.



This is still bad ergonomics.

Stair steps could be 450 mm high and work, but building codes make them 200 mm for a reason. And you are not "better" by saying that "I am fit enough to climb 450 mm steps, and you are all lazy for wanting stairs built to ergonomic standards".
