The same line of code can be duplicated 100 times, so long as none of those duplicates represent the same idea. | |

Ben Knoble | Upvoting for the version-control sleuthing alone; this is my biggest tool where I’m the most senior member of the team by months and the project was a year old when I got there… unfortunately, sometimes for it to be useful requires good version control hygiene :( | |
