  • Boy do I ever disagree with this.

    For big projects, with multiple people and man-years of work, sure. Don’t start from scratch. But in my humble opinion, those projects shouldn’t really exist. Instead they should be atomic, made up of small page-length units which individually can be scraped and rebuilt.

    For small projects, rewriting is often superb. It allows us to reorganize a mess, apply new knowledge, add neat features and doodads, etc.

  • Isn’t that basically what Bloomberg et al do for stocks? Or what the blue book of gun values does for guns? I’m not sure how this is different, from a legal perspective. It’s obvious different from a moral perspective because stocks and guns aren’t required to live, but I don’t think the law has a provision for that

  • Same and I wouldn’t either.

    I think this is just some more urban rural divide stuff. It’s a lot easier to be a homeowner in rural places, since cities have much more expensive real estate and renting is more common. So rural people are more likely to be republicans and urban people are more likely not to be.

  • I went to school in the early 90s and we didn’t really have IDEs. Just text editors with regular expression find and replace and syntax hi-lighting, none of this “show a semitransparent box with your functions arguments” stuff or linters or whatever.

    I still don’t know how to use a modern IDE, I use sublime text. And I debug my code using print statements.
