Why would it be better for tens of tthousands of people to rewrite the same bit of code over and over again, ? This amount of code reuse sounds excellent to me.

- loup-vaillant 5y agoBecause then they would learn to write that code. Because it’s not the same exact bit of code, but just a part, or a different version depending on the exact context. Because taking on a dependency is just as costly as rewriting the thing, if not more… Code reuse is good, but we should not forget that its costs are not nil.
