Depends. If they told me "look how easy it is to apply this function to a certain subset of the elements of this array" and they show me map and filter instead of a for loop I would be all for it, even if it's "prewritten" code.
But I get the example about roman numerals, editors and browsers.
- wolco 7y agoThe browser drop-in was extremely useful. I made a blazing fast browser had view-source as a first class button was able to add in my favourites as icons. Better yet I could make the browser fullscreen. I would consider it a browser that used an engine. Now a days everyone but firefox is using WebKit.. not much of a difference. Curious how you would do that today without vb.net
- dual_basis 7y agoI guess the point is that you can't really say you've made a browser. It's like bringing store-bought brownies to a party and claiming you made them yourself.
- Crinus 7y agoBut he made the browser - the browser is the application itself (what he made) - not the browser's engine. Saying that he didn't make a browser is like saying Notepad++'s author didn't really made an editor because he used Scintilla.
