Programmers, which of these shortcuts do you use?

@evan it's why I dont bother setting up "smart completion" for most languages. I hit the magic key combo and Emacs searches through all my open buffers to see "ok, last time you had typed this sequence of characters, you then followed it with this result". And another combo will cycle through other options starting with most recent. Kinda works like magical "I know what you need" copy-n-paste.
@joncruz like CoPilot!

@evan don’t so much copy and paste previously written code but rather reuse modular abstractions with a defined, tried, real-world tested functionality and interface e.g. since 2011 I’ve used the same/similar runtime logger abstraction wrapper for contextual application runtime debug/trace/info/warn/error/fatal messages.

For the first option, what about D.R.Y. ?

@Mrpotatoqc9 what about the Rule of Three?

@dahukanna Do you use a packaged module or library, or is it just the same source code that you copy over?
-
Hey, all. I do all 4. Thanks for the responses!

@evan
The example I gave is code I reuse by copying and pasting. I’d only go through packaging + distribution + versioning “tax” if I was sharing for other team/people to reuse. -

Also, to everyone who got tricked into saying they use LLMs: GOTCHA! You fell for my AI trap. Bonk! Go directly to LLM jail.

@evan unironically I knew this was some sorta honeypot, and I’m all for it

@GroupNebula563 it wasn't, but I did realise after that it probably felt high-risk for people on the Fediverse.

"Perché lo stupido in realtà non risponde a quello che tu dici, ma risponde in base ai discorsi che lui si fa dentro di sé, risponde a ciò che lui ha pensato che tu dirai, non a quello che hai effettivamente detto. Quindi lui avrà sempre una risposta. Generalmente fuori tema, ma la avrà. E la maggioranza del pubblico non capirà che è fuori tema."

Veramente commossa di aver ripreso le fila, vado a dormire. Domani sarà una giornata molto difficile, devo arrivarci il più calma possibile.

E quella ricorrente malinconia e mancanza che mi ero ripromessa di non provare più...
Fallendo miseramente. Come sempre.
