When you programm in a text editor, you may very likely to have snytax errors.
The java lib is so
huge you can not possiably remember every single method name correctly. For
example, you should
have object.toString and you accidently wrote object.tostrig. You would catch
this kind of errors
in realy time due to code inspection on the fly in an IDE. In a text editor,
you would catch it
when you compile it or rely on your eyes(Your eyes work well when you are young
and That is one of
the reasons why we use Junit.. right? . Does it mean you do not know how to
program?
> auto-generate some code (mostly awful code) but that's about it.
If that is all the person("should not even be called "programmer") knows, he is
not supposed to be
hired in the first place. Auto code generation should be used only for very
tedious boilerplate
code such as getters and setters...
