- mattmanser 14y agoCan't decide if that went over your head or you're trolling back... But seriously, this seems to be checking for the antithesis to good code and I imagine a lot of programmers here are thinking 'you shouldn't need it!'. So sell it a bit more as your website doesn't. On the code bases you've beta tested this on, do you really identify this kind of percentage of replication? Isn't that a sign the code is bad and should be abstracted or does this help in another way? I'd want to see some real life examples on your site somewhere on some public repos, where are they!
- jaimefjorge 14y agoI've been finding that the messaging part is tricky. But you're right; we are still finding the perfect way for us to message what we do. The thing is that, we've been finding that the average project on github (specially those using ruby and javascript) doesn't have a huge amount of code duplication (I'm really thinking about making a blog post about it). However we believe that there is duplicate code that: 1) You don't have time to refactor 2) The overhead of refactoring is too big So for all these cases, we believe you should be able to live with the code you have and not make any inconsistencies. Showing real life examples is definitely interesting.Will improve. Thank you for this.
