  • I’ve had similar strong reactions to other things. In my case, I had some unresolved trauma that I wasn’t even consciously aware of until I worked through it with a therapist. Not necessarily the case with you, but it might be worth talking to a professional if you have the means.

    That being said, every office seems to have obnoxious coworkers (that’s pretty much the premise of The Office, and why it did so well). And that can be annoying for sure. For me, I try to not take my work overly seriously, and I try to remember that others might find me obnoxious at times too.







  • Unfortunately, I don’t think anything like this really exists, because it violates good programming principles. Not to say you’re bad for considering it, but there probably aren’t a lot of people working toward the same end. You’ll probably have to resort to personal discipline and/or scathing code comments to remind yourself to refactor things before using them. I may or may not have left comments in my own code calling myself an idiot for not refactoring, or apologizing to my future self. Welcome to the club.


  • In my experience, the typical solution to this problem is the opposite of what you suggest–making your short-term projects of a sufficient quality to be extensible if needed. So I’d be surprised if you find much on this (intentionally, at least).

    That being said, if you’re set on locking down a project, I would run the source through some sort of obfuscator and delete the original. This could be converting it to an intermediate format, or just converting all the entity names to random strings.
