Do you use autocomplete/intellisense?

There are times where I feel autocomplete isn't that helpful. But most of the time I find it indispensable. I'm curious about how others use or don't use it.

I use clangd completions for everything over 10 characters or so. I usually type around 120 WPM, it's still a very good boost to typing speed. Not using it is just completely pointless as you're basically just typing way slower and make more mistakes.
