No matter what you work on, programming is one of:

• Check the documentation for a library, copy&paste the interface call, fill in the blanks.
• Pick the best algorithm for the case at hand, copy&paste, change a few variable names.
• Get out your snippets archive, copy&paste the one you need.
• Write some boilerplate, copy&paste over and over, then fill in the blanks.
• Look up how someone else solved your problem, replicate it in a way that doesn’t look like copy&paste.
• Once in a blue moon, come up against an actually novel problem, spend some days figuring out the best way to solve it… then copy&paste the solution back into the project.

Doesn’t matter what you’re working on, in the end it’s mostly copy&paste 😂
