Thats true Brad.
And yes I also agree Brad. Why re-write the same bit of code over and over again. __________________________________ |

I know too many programmers who ditch their code. It's never a good idea to do that, even if you're ditching the entire codebase because you're starting a new project of a totally different category. You may need to recycle old code.

Yeah, I reuse a lot of my registering and logging in/out code, because it's all the same (Unless I need to make some small changes to better suit a certain site), really. Saves a lot of time.

Yeah. I often take old code and rewrite it to suit my needs (for example, making code run faster/more efficiently). It does indeed save time and helps you concentrate on the parts of the project that requires new code.

I'm happy to reuse code, mostly because if I ever wanted to release it then users would recognize my style if they saw it anywhere else. I'm mostly talking about form and user processes here, since you can go two completely different routes on the backend to achieve the same task.

Having a motto? Seems lame. Like horribly lame.
I just...code. I dont sit there thinking "Good coders code. Must remember this. Go code go code". If you want to code, go do it. None of this bs __________________________________ |

No I meant like I'm sitting there about to code say, a forum. I dont think a motto to myself or anything like that.
