It is even more devilish if you copy and paste your own code. It's down right perverted, I tell you. :sigh:

"No, that is just the earthly manifestation of the Great God Retardon." - Nagy Vilmos (2011) "It is the celestial scrotum of good luck!" - Nagy Vilmos (2011)I think pretty much always. If you are programming via c&p, you need to re-think your design. For example, in my app, I have 13 "scripts". I stupidly named them in the original design ScriptThatDoesThis, ScriptThatDoesThat, etc. So I have a lot of logic that is c&p'ed because the names of the scripts are different. I could either leave it like that and refactor the common code as a method, or a better design would have been to have an array of Script[13] and have an enum as the key or something like that. Oh well, too late now :).

I basically paste back the original contents and then paste again to make the duplicate. This way I never have to Ctrl-C, it's always Ctrl-X for me. :-D

Well if you're already too lazy to rewrite said code from scratch everytime, I would take a gander that you're probably way too lazy to go through the OO creative exercise with it :-D

ya but what we really all want to know (honestly now) is how many times you've been in such a hurry that you forgot that second Ctrl-X until it was too late :laugh:

"No, that is just the earthly manifestation of the Great God Retardon." - Nagy Vilmos (2011) "It is the celestial scrotum of good luck!" - Nagy Vilmos (2011)I am personally tired of copy and paste not working, correctly. Lets say I am in one application so I highlight with the mouse, press control+C, Alt+Tabl, control+V 99% of the time it doesn't work. I have to manually use the copy and past commands from the context menu. So annoying.

Interesting thought there. A lot of students at Purdue (in the CS department) do that with homework and projects (I didn't, due to the fact it took them longer to finish with copy, paste, fix some code, repeat, than it took the people who wrote the code from scratch). :cool:

Exactly. I had copied one line from a snippet and forgot to change it up. Big deal. It seems that a lot of people here on this site, hop on certain band wagons, not knowing what the hell they are really doing. You look at their profiles and they are supposedly "senior" devs and the only thing then that come to my mind is :omg: :wtf:. and I'm supposed to take their advice? No way, Jose. -- cheers.

Copy/paste isn't so bad if you pay attention. I keep a few snippets/scripts at the ready. They tend to be special cases that don't lend themselves well to the "Correct Way"™... and (by design) they never compile. That keeps me from being stupid once the caffeine runs low.
