Here is a mini cheat sheet to better and faster coding.
By naming your Object types with the corresponding Variable suffix you will add code hinting when you have not strong typed your Object types as well making your code more readable.
Use escape shortcuts for redundant typing of the same code. (”it’s kinda like snip-its of premade code”)
