I don't know all the details but someone (especially as a programmer) should know their own shortcomings (eg, oh i can't believe i was doing it that way!) and be doing everything possible to get up to speed otherwise I would question the quality of the person as a programmer.
As for addressing the problem I find learning all the resharper shortcuts vital - not learning them by heart perhaps but going thru them one at a time, looking at how you would normally select/highlight/refactor something and see how much quicker it is with R# https://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/docs/ReSharper_DefaultKeymap_VSscheme.pdf Also get rid of ALL the menu bars in visual studio On Tue, Jul 19, 2016 at 12:55 PM, Tom Rutter <[email protected]> wrote: > Yeap I like this idea.
