When I'm coding, most of my time is spent thinking about the right structure, organization, or solution. Or, debugging something that isn't acting as expected (which, again, is mostly thinking).

I spend comparably little time actually writing the code.

If there is an IDE available that works well out of the box, I'll certainly use whatever automation is available. But often it is broken, incomplete, slow, inaccurate, etc. and rather than spend countless hours fine-tuning some automation / LSP workflow that is going to break when I move to a different project anyway, I just deal with whatever features are missing.

This also has the advantage that I can quickly move to other tools, other languages, other computers, other companies, etc. without requiring days of setup and re-accommodation.

I do have a pretty good memory, which is probably a large part of why this is effective for me.
