copied!<ol> <li><p>As everyone else has mentioned, use Resharper or equivalent.</p></li> <li><p>Learn the keyboard shortcuts and use them. Just about every operation you can perform in VS has a keyboard equivalent, and the more of them you know, the less time you'll spend poking around in menus. This is equally important for using Resharper.</p></li> <li><p>Pay attention to anything you have to wait for. Are you waiting for builds to finish? Remove projects that you aren't working on from your solution and reference their assemblies instead. You can always add them back if you need to. Are you waiting for unit tests to run? Maybe you can segment the tests into a set you run several times a day and a set you run before every check-in. Are you waiting for your application to start up every time you test it? Maybe you can define a build configuration that excludes startup code whose functionality isn't involved in what you're working on right now.</p></li> <li><p>Get a solid-state drive and put your OS and development tools on it. Put more memory in your machine.</p></li> <li><p>A simple for tip for dealing with the tedium of editing code that you copy and paste: <em>Don't copy and paste code.</em> I'm sure that there are circumstances under which it's acceptable, even necessary, to copy and paste code, but if it's part of your everyday workflow you need to stop what you're doing and fix it. I wouldn't even mention this if more than one person hadn't suggested it.</p></li> </ol>
