No, I’m not contradicting myself. I’m telling you that you make a weaker argument than you could.
In my first message I answer your general claim (what would you rather do? If I can, I’ll refactor; depending on the IDE that can be as simple as a single keyboard shorcut). In my second answer I add the limitations and fine details that must be checked to take a good decision.
Don’t expect a simple yes/no answer when it comes to comments.
And my reply then was "Is it everybody that uses IDEs?" Most developers I Know use vscode and do they keep replacing the function name in every file they used them when they add new features to it? This is my main point. You can speak for yourself but don't try to speak for everybody. Because you can't.
And also, it's your choice whether you are a bro or not.
I won't reply you again. Because it seems you are proving obstinate.
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.

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.
