Why are you writing the same code over and over?

>>54948645
You know what I meant, it's doing the same task or similar tasks over and over again.

Put the fun back in with fun-maintainable code.
It adds a level of excitement you never would have thought you could achieve.

Watch junior devs struggle for hours swearing at your shit and inevitably creating bugs!
(though they tend to do that anyway...)

I really don't, Anon. I've written lots of business logic in my time, but I haven't had the problem of writing the same or similar things over and over.

I've worked on codebases where that's happened though, including one that re-implemented vector insertion on every single insertion.

The problem there was obviously not that you had to do the same thing over, but that the code wasn't written in a general, modular and reusable way to avoid it.

I had to go over and delete these 300 implementations across the codebase, which was very repetitive, but that was a failure of the last dev and not inherent to the problem.

i was going to respond something along these lines

Write code that writes code for you. It's all text so you really don't need lisp for this, do it in your language.
Make a template and fill in the spots. Even make a script to do conditional writing of parts of your code and pass it parameters to choose what to write. Et cetera.
Automate. It's fun

try to do in in and to produce lisp
