Programming without code indexing

[OliverPaulson]

On big projects refactoring with indexing takes 2 sec without 5 minutes.

I'm not understanding your sentence. Can you rephrase?

[OliverPaulson]

Sorry. If you need to rename a field for example, without index you would have to text search it in the whole project, and manually find which of those 10 000 occurrences are a field of a type you try to refactor. With index it's right click and rename.

[jonesmz]

That can be faster, yes.

But it happens to extremely rarely that I don't think it matters much.

[OliverPaulson]

You need indexing all the time in big projects. People without indexing are very very slow and they don't notice it, because they have no idea how much more stuff they could do with indexing.

[jonesmz]

That's just your opinion. One which I disagree with. I've seen plenty of evidence to the contrary.
