Re: "5 Things I’ve Learned in 20 Years of Programming"

Comment in: s/programming

The article gave me sort of a "I am a middle-aged, American white programmer, so listen to me, you inferior junior human being" attitude, that of course I do not particularly agree with.

I agree with others here that code duplication is not *always* bad. Programming is often about making tradeoffs. However, it is true sometimes that some decisions are made, when possibly thinking for a better solution for a couple of hours could have avoided it.
