Sometimes they get there but a lot of times not too. I'm pretty sure there are a lot more types and the two you wrote aren't the copy-pasters either. Me, I try to follow the Unix philosophy[0] though I think there's plenty of exceptions to be made. Basically just write a bunch of functions and make your functions simple. Function overhead calls are usually cheap so this allows things to be very flexible. Because the biggest lesson I've learned is that the software is going to change so it is best to write with this in mind. The best laid plans of mice and men and all I guess. So write for today but don't forget about tomorrow. Then of course there are those that love abstractions, those that optimize needlessly, and many others. But I do feel the copy-pasters are the most common type these days. | ||
