A great deal of professional coding is copy/paste. I'm not ashamed.

Of course, but that makes your code look a lot like spaghetti. :laugh:

...and a vast number of bugs in professionally coded products are caused by failure to edit such code safely. The PVS-Studio chaps frequently run articles summarising issues found in Open Source projects. For example, the following is for CryEngine V Errors[^]. Every single article like this usually includes copy-pasta errors. Its a valid technique, but you may want to employ a good static analysis tool alongside to protect your ass.

I used to have a coworker who mostly just copy/pasted. The guy had NO idea what he was doing. He thought generics was something I invented. He had been using LINQ (mostly .Where()) for over a year, but when he had to use .Any() he was lost in the syntax. All of his code read exactly the same (literally, it was the same code). I told him copy/paste was a privilege that you had to earn and he hadn't earned it yet.

And adjust variable names and tweak code to work in what I have so far. If you can just copy and paste most of what you do, then you are not a programmer/developer and not working on anything very complex, in my opinion. :^)

Indeed, why invent when you can steal... :-D :~

I had a coworker ask me one time why I typed so much. I didn't quite understand where he was coming from and then I realized he was referring to my coding. I asked him how he codes. His response was, and I quote, "I Google it." :doh:
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others. Same thing when you are stupid.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
