Note to Self - Operator Overloading in C# by Peter

Habbits are a bad thing. Automatic assumptions are the root of all evil. Challenge everything.

int i = 42;

Trace.WriteLine("The answer is " + i.ToString());

Trace.WriteLine("The answer is " + i);

Could have saved myself:

const double TimeToPressKey = 0.3;

string wastedKeyStrokeString = ".ToString()";

int perDay = 25;

int workingDays = 5 * 48;

int years = 3;

double savings = TimeToPressKey * wastedKeyStrokeString.Length() * workingDays * years;

Or thereabouts.

Surly you don't type all of ".ToString()" I would think for most object's ".tos" would be enough to give unique intellisense +[enter] + "()" would do it.

Thus
int intellisenseSaving = 3;
timeNotActuallySaved = TimeToPressKey * intellisenseSaving * workingDays * years
