    Yeah, I’ve seen the type… had a colleague in uni like that. And it’s not like he’s gonna need it for something else, but why spend an hour making them when he could spend 5 hours making the script to generate them in 1 second.

    If this is how true programmers think, I’m sorry, I’m not a true programmer then 🤷.

      I meant it as a joke, but the way I see it is as a “fast” and fun exercise where their’s no pressure and the only judge is yourself. It’s more about coding something for the fun of it.

        I understand the logic, but this really seems like a complete waste of time. I’d rather spend that time coding something really useful than coding that.

      When you have to do something once, do it manually, when you need to do it more often, script/code it.

      Oh, and coding is much more fun then manual labour.

        Depends for who… I also enjoy welding and woodworking. It’s not always about the end product, it’s about the journey.

        And 12 times is not that much. I mean, it’s not like I’m gonna make another one next year.
