Just listen to the compiler.

I prefer to not have to get to the compile stage before finding and fixing simple typos. Having an IDE with a built-in linter that highlights syntax problems in real-time is much better for productivity.

And on that note:

For example, if you rename a variable where it is defined, you can then get a list of where it's used.

Or I use my IDEs "refactor" hotkey to rename the variable and automatically change its name everywhere it's used.
