when your write perl / php - GoFuckYourself.com

coders be honest do you constantly go back to stuff you have done before and cut and paste about 50% of it and modify it a bit ?

or do I just suck ?

HorseShit · 04-06-2006, 09:58 AM

a lot do that to save time

pstation · 04-06-2006, 09:59 AM

hmm, nope

there is nothing wrong with reusing old code, but it's best to package up stuff into functions/classes and then just drop those into new projects... only a fool would rewrite everything from scratch each time...

Remastered · 04-06-2006, 10:06 AM

Yes, it's called code templates and I have 1,000s of them.

"why reinvent the wheel"

Tom_PM · 04-06-2006, 10:12 AM

Oh hell yes. Absolutely. All the more reason to write good code the first time.

If you were a teacher and you wrote the best lesson plan in the WORLD for your 8th grade British Literature class one year....would you start over the next year

you are better of creating libraries with your most used functions.

i was talking to a friend nathan about coding, did he do some work for you a while back?

fuzebox · 04-06-2006, 10:18 AM

I try not to copy and paste... Maybe I might resuse an old function once in a blue moon, but it is so unlikely. Most the shit I write is fresh, even if I had just reinveinted the wheel.

Not for me personally. For the company, maybe. I dont do the hiring of programmers/designers and the like. So it's possible I guess.

Brujah · 04-06-2006, 10:25 AM

I write everything in assembly, from scratch each time.

Remastered, any tips on organizing your code templates?

u-Bob · 04-06-2006, 10:31 AM

first lesson my university prof taught me: "a real programmer is lazy".
so yes, i reuse a lot of code.

AcidMax · 04-06-2006, 10:38 AM

Definitely use classes. Inheritance and shit can save you a ton of time. Why write code to send emails everytime when you can do it in a single class and include, or form checking, database handling etc. Just a waste of time if you don't use classes imho.
