Boost Your Productivity with This Simple PhpStorm Feature
As a software developer, you spend countless hours writing, testing, and perfecting your code. It must be clean, well-structured, domain-driven, and follow SOLID principles, to mention just a few of the developer buzzwords.
However, have you ever thought about optimizing your tools? It’s easy to become so obsessed with improving your code that you forget about improving your work environment. Consider this:
A carpenter might become so caught up in carving wood that he forgets his knife isn’t sharp anymore.
What is your ‘knife’? If you’re a web developer, chances are you rely heavily on PhpStorm (or any other IntelliJ IDE) to get your work done. You probably use it for:
- Writing, organizing, and refactoring your code.
- Checking out branches and committing changes to the repository.
- Getting notifications after your code has been built.
- Or running automated tests and receiving notifications about them.
It’s a powerful tool that’s packed with features to help streamline your workflow. But all those bells and whistles can quickly become overwhelming and distracting, leaving you feeling scattered and unproductive.
