If you were a code antipattern, what would it be?

I'm definitely NIH -- "Not Invented Here".

I write everything from scratch. When I don't, more often than not, I don't install code deps -- I copy their code and modify it. I port it to my set of utils, my syntax preferences, optimize it, strip parts and modes I don't need, and at the end there's no clear line between what was my code and what wasn't. My code doesn't import, it absorbs.

    I've suffered from clean code for many many years

    Finally sober, enjoying my YAGNI code

    @12bitfloat wow. I spent so much time convincing people that uncle bob is a moron that I basically gave up. Clean code to software engineering is what tailwind is to css -- cancer.

    I also prevent dependencies by writing myself. It also feels good that you know exactly what is happening. It's just clean and you know that it keeps working.

    Mine would be GOTO statements.

    @Chewbanacas nothing wrong with goto statements - tsoding. I agree with him tbh. There are just fine use cases.
