    This is me watching my SO use any video editing software, or anything at all from Adobe.

      It’s completely necessary.

      How else does one click hotkeys while standing?

    I have a coworker whose default mode of thinking is to manually type everything. He knows about things like tab completion and copy-paste, but for some reason those two things just aren’t baked into his brain as a natural reflex like it is for most people. Like if he has to put a URL or database connection string in a config file somewhere, he’ll start manually typing the string one character at a time, and will keep alt-tabbing between the config file he’s editing and the email or whatever that has the reference string.

    It drives me up a wall.

      This comment made me physically recoil in disgust. Great job.

      I did a short stint as a video editor at a local news channel. Had one colleague who made it a point to lean back and touch the keyboard as little as humanly possible, and use the mouse for everything. It was excruciating to watch him work. He was fairly experienced btw, so I’m sure he could have done the work much quicker, he just chose not to.

    This is what training new folks looks like. Even something as simple as a browser; watching someone click into the address bar and hit enter just to refresh the page, hurts my soul.

      I let my stand-in scrummy drive the TFS board this morning. In adding a PBI to the sprint he typed the iteration manually (a pretty long path name), rather than clicking the context menu and selecting “current iteration”

    Just recently got familiar with using multiple cursors in my ide. They’re much more useful than I thought they’d be

    Where’s that comic about the guy watching someone Google a spare part and not use any of the search hacks?
