Am I the only one who re-writes almost every project 2-3 times because you find new ways to code sth. or when you are lookin' back at your code when you have to implement sth. new and you have no idea 'what-does-what' ? :/

Me at work: ow hey, are you still using that version? I already made two new versions since last week..

    That doesn't sound very efficient. If it works - why re-write it? Just a waste of time, especially if you're getting paid. I doubt the people you work with and for appreciate it.

    You sound like a nightmare to work with 😂

    If there are ever changes to be made, I always run them by my lead to make sure he is aware of them. Don't just secretly hoard revisions until they come asking about something.

    I take a long time to start coding. If I make any big changes to the program it's because of poor planning.

    Sounds like you're either OCD or don't have enough to do

    Sounds like someone I worked with on a project. He would spend weeks on the same ticket because he kept rewriting things because he had just read something online or heard something in a podcast and wanted to use the new learning even if they were not fit for the task. Eventually he was fired because he was not productive enough. It didn't help that he was a freelancer and spent half the time watching YouTube or Twitch.

    As I learn, I rewrite things to make them simpler to reuse later on. First go around is usually pretty hectic just because the product needs to go out.
