Yeah. Also I was using a phone keyboard so... it was suboptimal in every way :D.
But tbh ed was the least bad thing about the whole setup. Terse, simple commands to write the code. And compiling regularly to catch syntax errors. I think I might even prefer to read code without syntax highlighting - I've turned it off on a lot of my editors now.
I guess I shouldn't knock it without trying it. That sounds like it adds cognitive load to me, I'm surprised you're reporting the opposite. Might have to try this!
I think I'd like to do some sort of opt-in experiment on Dev.to. Pick things like syntax highlighting, or other productivity tools, and ask devs to turn them off for a week and to report back on their findings.
For science!
