This is the right strategy. Storage space costs nothing these days. Why not just clone and go? That’s what I always say.
Why, you can just ‘inherit’ some code by copying a block, pasting it, then making a few small changes. No thinking, no problem.
Ok, I’m off to copy of my code folder for the next release.
- N-deep loops mixed with gotos, throws, multiple returns, and mixed memory management contracts.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•I finally created the perfect JavaScript runtime: No-JS
3 yearsOne cool thing is that the comments are self documenting. I read the program earlier and it’s quite clear what it does. Excellent accomplishment, dear colleague!
There are some good ideas in this comment, but I’d like to counter that the cautionary tales are an instigating factor in implementing safety for new tech. The wealthy few shouldn’t get to blindly and unilaterally decide the future of all through careless and unrestricted development of world-altering tech.
If we keep doubling, will I eventually be a person on the tracks? There are a finite number of people, so eventually I would be, right? So, passing the buck would be equivalent to handing my fate to a stranger.
OTOH, if there are an infinite number of people, then this thought experiment is creating people out of thin air. Do these imaginary people’s rhetorical lives even matter?
Either way, it seems better to kill 1 person at the start.

This is something that makes me sad. Stallman and Raymond were heros to me when I was starting out 20 years ago. I guess it goes to show that people are flawed no matter how talented.

This is a good method. I love technology, but tech companies have become increasingly icky. Trends over the last decade have finally soured me on Google. I just can’t justify using or buying their services.
