Code Reuse

2022-01-11

Scenario

Someone has ignored _best practice_ and code duplication is rampant.

Result

You are going to have to write at least one editor macro. Finding every instance and fixing might take days.

Scenario

Someone has decided code re-use is a _good thing_ and code duplication is a _bad thing_.

Result

Honestly, just quit. There is no world in which you un-fuck this.

I am at the point where I can't imagine what would change my mind

"Software architecture" is a joke and "architects" are selling snake oil. Has anyone told real architects what is being done in their name?
