You obviously did not worked with huge (100,000+ lines) codebase which you did not write yourself.

I'm not relying the autocomplete functionality per se, but they make discovering these kind of code easier.

I have, and my teams write abstraction layers around both internal & external systems for testing, integration, and sanity.

It limits the scope & necessity of domain knowledge to be scattered about everywhere. The core logic is easy to reason about and there’s no tight coupling.

For example, if I’m calling libcurl directly in C++, I’ll create a generic adapter. Auto completion isn’t adequate for that library anyway, unless you can remember the docs.

If it’s some unwieldy “does everything” internally developed monolith by a team from hell, the same applies. Encapsulated composition.
