minus-squaremarcos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-218 hours agoWell, that’s how you do it! And if two widgets need to create the same effect, you just copy the 5000 lines around. That’s why copy-and-paste was invented. (It really shouldn’t be necessary… but in case somebody still needs it, here’s the \s)
minus-squarecloudy1999@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 hours agoThis is the right strategy. Storage space costs nothing these days. Why not just clone and go? That’s what I always say. Why, you can just ‘inherit’ some code by copying a block, pasting it, then making a few small changes. No thinking, no problem. Ok, I’m off to copy of my code folder for the next release.
