i already was written on this but i will write yet once as i find it
really important problem and people seem to not realize this
code jumping is probably worst thing in programming
when i sit to code sem things and the additions i need need
few places of update (and in medium and probably bigger projects its
regular case) then its terrible problem becuse
1) im focusing which lines of code to write (its often easy)
2) then i need to find the place i need to update
- it needs chose rught file
- then navigate up and down to find right function
(- yet it sometimes began to be complicated by fact you need to check f
its visible symbol etc)
and when 1 is often quite easy and im enough focset to write it down
quite quick and seemles then te second is a disaster - in te moment of potential jump I FEEL LIKE IDIOT and i belive any programmer probably
feels like idiot in this case
it has terrible disadvantage
1) youre stoping to be focused and now you need to resolve terrible
mistery where thsi place of update is and a physical problem to get there)
so it puts you out of focus and make physical burden
there is also no way imo to remember it as it changes when you code
there are eventual stategies to help with that jumping but they are not
much good (at leas i dont know them.. (you may probably manage the tabs,
giving names to files, set bookmarks, try to find things by contrl+f
maybe and so on and so on...maye minimise the number of files to
jump inside one instead of among many, of opposite you may try
to divide one file on few to editor remember cursor position..and so on
for me none of that work well
so in conclusion im standing in front of biggest practical problem i
guess and a problem with no solution
(people also facing it imo but they kinda ignore it , i mean they are in
that problem and donte even complain, which also not help)
(amybe some have some ways to deal with that but i kinda doubt, not sure
ofc)
