"Let's not use inheritance, it's complicated and could confuse programmers. Better to just copy-paste code."
"Source control? I don't know, this git command line is a little bit too much. Let's just use zip files and email the source"
- runawaybottle 5y agoThat is not what I am suggesting, but alas, you seemed to have proven my point. I did not write clearly enough, and behold the outcome. Now imagine if we all do this in a codebase.
