Seriously, how do you quickly read and understand the API
through the
noise?
The noise increases if you have to repeat the class name for
each method
:-)
Except that you can _read the class definition_.
Look, I'm just giving an account of the collective experience
from our
weekend. None of us could find anything easily in each others
classes, or
quickly get a reasonable overview of it's design and how it
worked.
This leads to needless conversations, asking the other person
about it, and
all those questions that I should be able to understand at a
glance.
This WILL affect productivity in the office.
The reason was that functions were polluting the class
declaration. 9 times
out of 10, when I look at a class declaration, I want to know
what it is,
what it has, and what it can do.
Code folding? It's a pretty standard feature of most editors
since forever.
