If my IDE writes 40% of my code it means i can call my functions ConnectToDatabaseCheckUserNameAndCountPosts() instead of ConDBusrCnt() just to save a few taps on the keyboard.

Though arguably that should be three different functions:

  ConnectToDatabase()
  CheckUserName()
  CountPosts()

Obviously that's not taken from any real code but just the most obscure function name that still makes sense that i could make up in my head while writing the reply.

...But even after splitting it into three functions you would still save 60% of your keystrokes by using auto completion ;)

  Con()ENTERChec()ENTERCou()ENTER

Which doesn't mean that you can get GetCellLocatuonById into Get CellLocation ById

Sorry for the formatting, the reply box on Android is malfunctioning.

Vim doesn't write any code for me yet I can still have long function names because of the cutting edge magic of auto-completion.

Autocompletion is writing code for you. That's what we're talking about here, in large part.

ConnectToDatabaseCheckUserNameAndCountPosts() should be 3 functions, not one.
