Does Intellisense promote brain rot? That was a question recently asked at the local Chadnug meeting. My answer, yeah, sometimes. I know developers that can not write software without intellisense. They have brain rot. If you can not write code without intellisense you need to fix that. I am not completely against intellisense, in fact I really like it. I do sometimes code without it to keep my brain from rotting and causing me to depend on it.

Pros
Discovery
Helps Lazy People Type

Cons
Causes you to rely on it to the point your brain can not think for itself.

I don't want intellisense to go away, just raise the awareness that brain rot does occur if you don't think sometimes.
