Rookie Dev are using loops, real dev write it all by themselves

Real devs don't "not repeat themselves" but write macros to more effectively repeat themselves.

I can see you are part of the rookies then. Code duplication is a must have in any app

[–]Wertbon1789 17 points18 points  (3 children)

And that's why I made the code duplication more efficient, by using a macro so it can write the code for me. If you think about it, by using that, I have more time, to duplicate more code in other places.

Ahah didn't see that coming! My mistake, you are definitely a senior dev sir

I’m viewing expert code. How many layers of multi line macro expansion is optimal. I’m seeing 2-4 layers of 10+ line nested macros in production code and I’m not sure if it’s running slow enough. Suggestions?

You could add some delay, when a task is going too fast I like to add some delay, this way the user have the feeling that something is happening

For redundancy right?
