Revolutionary programming technique / IDE
-
I have an idea about a revolutionary IDE that will make people write more beautiful less bloated code! Yep you read that well!! The tool that everybody has been waiting for and I'm going to unveil to the wold (and you) what it is!!! Well it's very simple. I'll take an open source IDE, say SharpDevelop, and then... I will remove the paste operation from all text editor. This way every single line of code will have to be typed manually!!!! Forcing developer to think on how to write more lean code and maybe use multiple function instead of multiple copy/paste!!! Argh.. trying to get to understand one of those... maybe it's just old age, but those 300 lines long methods really grate me!

Quick, Super Lloyd, it looks like the domain names: supernodupe.com supernopaste.com May be available (no site found: I didn't check a domain registrar site). best, Bill

Awesome, I hurry buying them! ^^

would be a good idea if it wasn't for the fact that half the developers wold then use names like 'A' and 'A1' to save them having to type stuff.

Oh yes! I employed someone once who created some really complex graphics manipulation code littered with variables: x, xx, xxx, xxxx and y, yy, yyy, yyyy and just occasionally i,ii,iii,iiii and j,jj,jjj,jjjj Made obfuscated code look readable!

That's where good auto-complete, like Intellisense and ReSharper rock. You don't have to type or paste long names.
-
By retrieving characters from a mini-db and pasting them, maybe? (Paste just cats; the display on the screen is updated afterward.)

Except that your clipboard is unaffected, hence this is not a paste operation, but an insert operation.

I used to think it was me, but in the C# IDE, intellisense is way to intrusive. I have been using C++ the last week and it is perfect. Perfect. Very non-intrusive but there when you need it. Not fair.
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

Hmm. I thought so at first, but I started adapting my typing to rely on Intellisense. The process of creating code is a lot faster now, and it's easier to use more uniform naming (fewer abbreviations). When I work on C++ it's now a little frustrating because the Intellisense support is so poor. I'd love to have Visual Assist, which apparently fixes a lot of this, but there's no way I'd be able to get the company to buy it and it's a tad expensive to buy for myself ($249) just to use at work.

What's wrong with x, y and i, j? If you name your coordinates anything other than x and y then you are obfuscating your code. If you use anything other than i and j to iterate over the x and y axes you are obfuscating your code. Those names have been idiomatic since we graduated from assembler. I prefer x1, y1 over xx, yy, but that's opinion and I certainly wouldn't fault somebody else for chosing xx over x1.

Hmm, I think you miss my point - there were no comments, no indication of the use or meaning of the various x, xx etc. I cannot really believe that having multiple nested levels of loops and conditions containing only variables of those names can possibly be considered in any way 'good code'...

One POS code base I had to maintain I was told "Names mean nothing. If the function name is 'Print', it may not get around to doing any." One gem of a function was alphabet soup. The parameters were a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h. And not one comment in the entire block. Another programmer and I once attempted to trace a particular subroutine. We chased down 25 levels and never reached bottom. Worse yet, a typical sub-subroutine called might do 10 things, only 2 were of interest to the calling routine. Obviously they hoped the other 8 operations would not have an adverse effect on the rest of the executing code. Now multiply that by 25 levels! By the time we got down that far we had absolutely no idea what it was doing, let alone what it was supposed to be doing.

autocompletion is the next to disable :-) We should never be allowed to write faster than we can think.
Thinking and writing should both be encapsulated so writing fast is just minimizing time spent in one and allowing more time for the other.

there are always hackers around us and you can always use the good old notepad, writing good code is all about what the developer wants and if it wants to just write code that does something it's hes choice. When you want to do some bug fixes on that code or add a new functionality then you are doomed, probably it would be easier to rewrite that code your own way :-D

And that expresses some of the reasons why code reuse is more complicated than just copying code.
