Caroline and I were discussing some issues I was seeing in a dogfood version of the next version of Visual Studio. I noted that I was having trouble with Intellisense and C++. It was making programming with some APIs that I’m not entirely familiar with difficult. In trying to describe this I quipped this little gem:
It’s hard to program when you don’t really know the APIs and if the APIs aren’t designed well they don’t match with the concepts. For example, I’m trying to use an RSS API and it doesn’t match up with the RSS standard, they call <description> “Subtitle”. If it matched, I could just Intellisense my way to victory.
So in the future, I hope C++ Intellisense improves and the API gets designed a little better so that I can Intellisense my way to victory
