@evan no need for me to copy and paste, as Emacs abbreviation mode does a smart version much quicker 😜

@joncruz I'm not sure what you mean.

@joncruz I'm not sure what you mean.
@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.

La destra USA sta pompando la propaganda dell'industria della carne e come previsto la campagna di Kennedy sui cibi ultraprocessati era funzionale ad un sostegno allo sfruttamento degli animali

Ciao Mohammed, sono al tuo fianco e non ti abbandonerò.
Ti scriverò domattina per sapere come stai e come hai (e avete) passato la notte.
Che sia una buona notte per tutti voi e che tu possa sentirti meglio domattina.
