I am looking for a "test" to determinate which IDE is more productive.
I imagine this is a project in the desired language (my case would be javascript react, or Ruby) and I need to follow instructions like:
- Refactor class A and rename it to B
- Write a short function that does "this little job".
- Search for a method called C and change it so that it returns an integer
- Add a logging line to method F
Then you could determinate productivity by timing the time it takes to complete the changes.
But maybe there are other ways of achieving the same result, which I'm not aware of.
My goal is to determinate how productive I am using different IDEs, and even comparing how well two people can use their IDE of choice, possibly stopping a few discussions in the office, which would also increase productivity :)
