I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I do this all the time!
It's all muscle memory now.
The other way the IDE gets in my way is when I want to add a closing bracket or parenthesis but my cursor is already immediately before one and the editor treats it as if they're the same - so I think I've added enough, but oh no.

Ugh. Instant rage quit.
There are also some strange moments when the cursor just vanishes completely and I don't know where I am anymore.
