arekxv10546yStrangely I never had a problem like this. I always manage just switch to different programming language. At very most I forget a function or few but I always manage to get the syntax ok. :)

Recently i named js variables like $somename and forgot to place var before it 😄

once I was so frustrated and stressed, I did an image tag like this
<img href='blahblah/blah.png'>
and got more stress cuz I wasn't able to find why it is not working for around 15mins 😂😂😂 -
Happens all the time, once worked with Swift most of the day then went to work with Java, kept using "self' instead of "this" lol

Fradow9166yThere is a real cost to context-switching, but it gets easier after a while.
When I'm lucky, I only use one programming language a day.
When I'm not (generally because of production bug, so more stress), it can go up to 5 (not counting HTML/CSS/JS here). At the end of those days I'm just a zombie that forgot how to speak.
Why 5 you might ask? Apps on iOS/Android, coded mostly in C++, so that's C++, Objective-C and Java (we have lots of wrappers). Then legacy back-end and website are in PHP (and on different CMS because fck yeah), new back-end is in Python. -
Every time I spent some time on just one language and change to another one I get confused. So I need to use some cheatsheets to develop fine on this first moment.

This is why one shouldn't code in more than one language a day. Basically spent almost 15 minutes to find out why it wasn't working.
