I am a passionate software developer attempting to learn in public.
I love learning and sharing and will be grateful for every opportunity to learn and improve.

And my reply then was "Is it everybody that uses IDEs?" Most developers I Know use vscode
VSCode has the features required to rename the function. Even vim has it if well configured.
If people choose to code with a dumb editor, they are not using adequate tooling to make good software.
And if you choose not to use the features of the editor then I can't argue that you will have to find hacks like generic function names and comments. But that code will not be as clean as it can.
I answered you “You might still be forced by your tooling to add a comment instead, but that’s then a question of tooling not of what’s the right thing to do.”
That’s for the ones without working rename tooling.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I agree with @arnebab
