So basically your code is more functional and has larger throughput, while using resources more efficiently? Great, no need for the superfluous copied part!

Requirements: Build a boat.
Add some pontoons and call it a day.
adds them to the bottom, flips immediately
Move the call.
You have to build it first, so that the customer can say "Exactly! A bus! But it needs to go across water, I don't know what that's called though."
"Ah shit i forgor" *seals up the whole bus so it doesn't leak and floats" there, perfect!
I was thinking filling it with expanding foam would work too.
Very high latency, though. Great for some use cases, useless for others.
"Sleek and stylish front end with a reliable, strong and stable back end"
Perfectly describes my body.
Now throw away the copied part.
I won't touch it!
I dare you! You got version control and good unit test coverage after all, no? ;)
The front is pretty but useless
The back is functional, flexible and customizable.
But the client asked for this:
No, they didn't. They probably wanted this but described a bus with a fancy nose. Didn't mention capability of flying either.
You made it more scalable? Good work
the part I stole from stackoverflow and the part I stole from reddit:
the more fancy your code looks, the more shitty it becomes
So shitty is fancy, right?
Right?
