- 8note 6y agoYou can't easily throw away code that somebody else depends on. If you put something useful up, you're stuck with it for a long time, and getting rid of it is another time investment
- TheDudeMan 6y agoThe question was not "Why aren't you writing code that someone else depends on?" Coding can be purely a learning process.
- jmchuster 6y agoSure, you can make a bunch of funny comics: Someone is furiously writing as much code as possible, and the next panel is someone else furiously trying to delete it as fast as possible. Someone stayed up all night to rush to complete something after someone asked for a feature, and then the next day they find out that guy didn't even work there. A team spends 5 months refactoring their webapp to force it to fit into 512mb, and then in their final presentation someone asks, why not just buy a 2gb stick of memory? https://thedailywtf.com/articles/That-Wouldve-Been-an-Option-Too https://thedailywtf.com/articles/That-Wouldve-Been-an-Option...
