I hate how IDEs with error checking check the code at every character. Like my dude, we got this shit right with text editors having spell check back in 1997. Wait just a moment before checking please. All the time when I'm typing the editor freaks the fuck out, this is wrong, this is wrong, here is an error, wtf is this supposed to mean? And then when I type the ) or whatever, all is well. Just give me a freaking second to work and think.

I'd say it's probably happening because the syntax parser runs every character to be able to provide auto complete, and error tracking is a part of that system. I wonder if there's a plugin that introduces some smart delay between when the error is detected and when it's displayed.

You can thank search engines on mobile for that, pure idiocy
