I felt like I was more of a configuration engineer than software developer when I was working in VS. If I got stuck I would just start typing and then hit ctrl+space and scroll through intellisense to get the options that seemed to fit.

I get that feeling with all modern software engineering. Intellisense and similar environments at least try to make it bearable.

I guess that's why I gravitate towards JavaScript, still kinda the Wild West where we can still write things from scratch.
