ASK HN: PROGRAMMERS WHO DON'T USE AUTOCOMPLETE/LSP, HOW DO YOU DO IT? (HACKER NEWS THREAD)

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Many IDE features, like autocomplete, language servers, and Copilot, can be taken for granted today. However, not every developer uses these tools. Some developers work in environments where they aren't able to access IDEs (for example, on remote servers that only have Vim), so they have had to learn different ways of doing things. Organizing software in a way where every piece of code has a clear and logical place is a skill - tooling that helps with code navigation can result in code that lacks structure.
