This is silly. Everyone knows that DRY is telling you that if you do the same sequence of mouse clicks three times in a row, you should spend the day writing a script to automate the task instead of quickly finishing what you were doing by doing the same sequence of clicks a fourth time. If you are supposed to apply it to the code you write, then there'd never be boilerplate-heavy languages like Java.

OOT, I'm pretty sure I saw you on OpenMW forum before

[–] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm one of OpenMW's developers, so that's understandable.

Ahh yes. Nice to see you on the Fediverse.

We've had !openmw@lemmy.ml for ages, and been present on Mastodon and Matrix for a long time, too.
