Any tricks you use to code faster ?

Don't code in C

Yeah. Get up very early in the morning and exercise your fingers. 3 sets of bench presses, 3 sets of sit-ups and 5 sets of push-ups. In under 2 weeks you should be coding faster.

Think more. You can only code as fast as you know what to write so make sure you know what you're doing before you get stuck in.

Don't code faster, code better

@LucaScorpion Amen! I was about to say that. :)

I whole-heartedly agree with @LucaScorpion

Wd40 on my fingertips.

Do 6 lines of cocaine followed by monster energy.

Get to know your IDE/editor.

@stupidcats Only useful for HTML/XML

Try out some tools or plugins for your choice of editor. I use Visual Studio with Resharper plugin to write code not only faster but also better and cleaner.

@stupidcats YES! Emmet is godsend..

I use 'tab'. A lot!

@Letmecode I hope one day to become really productive in vim, but the beginning is hard...

Amphetamines

Yep,
Destroy router.

I am glad that this question raised sl many comments (guess I haven't had so many comments on a question on devrant) and thank you all for your contributions. Still, I may say that I am surprised nobody mentionned tdd specifically, does everyone of you use this already so it seems so natural not to mention it ?

Type faster.

@GreatNespresso that's really not a thing that TDD is, or is really going to help you with though. In fact, if you aren't used to the process already then for a good while TDD will slow you down. A lot.

Just one thing THINK FIRST

@kamen Very important

I leaned VIM to get faster at coding. I still love VIM now, but I genuinely think the faster you code the worse your code is likely to be.

As a wise redditor once told me, " pushing the keys is the easy part."

Unrealistic deadlines.
