Copy and paste is the most common type of code reuse. Just sayin’
Copy and paste is the most common type of code reuse. Just sayin’
I wrote a lot of proposals, justifications, instructions and other documents when I worked for a fortune 100 company that got me a lot of attention, respect and dare I say, several promotions. I made asst VP before chucking the corporate world. When I go back and read those documents I often ask myself how I could have written that trash.right before the coder completely rewrites portions because the original was crap (even if it was his code in the first place).
The second company I worked for as a software engineer (don't snort, it was the job title) was a small partnership that consulted to the company the two principals had left. One day one of them was sitting at his desk in the corner looking at code listings. He started muttering to himself: "This doesn't make any sense! Why did he do it this way?" etc. after a few minutes he said "Who wrote this anyway?!?" Flipped back through several pages of listing and then said (much quieter) "Well, I must have had a good reason for it."right before the coder completely rewrites portions because the original was crap (even if it was his code in the first place).
Now, that one I WILL show my wife!

None of my students ever looked like that.
Most of them could spell better than that, though ...
Blondes are SUPPOSED to be crazy. The challenge associated with the probable lack of stability makes it more interesting. Like taxiing a tailwheel.40 some odd years ago I dated a blonde. East Texas farm girl, blonde hair, blue eyes, narrow at the hip, large at the breast.
And add TOTALLY insane to that list. I had to move to another town twice to get away from her. I never dated a blonde again...
Here's what a dork I am....I saw a dude in an "aviator nation" hat at a theme park. I almost went up to him to talk about flying. Thankfully my antisocial tendencies took over. Found out later it's an overpriced hipster fashion brand.How come my students don't look like this??

To press the turbo button on the experience, try saying "Hey, you're almost as good at this as your sister!", and hang on tight...
Guess I'm out of touch, too. I thought the shirt said "Aviaton Nation".Here's what a dork I am....I saw a dude in an "aviator nation" hat at a theme park
At least there are still surefire ways that we can identify other pilots in public. Aviator sunglasses, for example.Here's what a dork I am....I saw a dude in an "aviator nation" hat at a theme park.
