<div dir="ltr">Two words - Stack Overflow. When someone is a copy-paste programmer, they can get quite a lot done quite quickly, and come over as proficient to the untrained managerial eye, but if anything unexpected happens they will be lost.

It's actually quite horrible for them.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 6 July 2016 at 12:36, gvim <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gvimrc@gmail.com" target="_blank">gvimrc@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I hear of this a lot - the Rails dev who hardly knows Ruby and I'm left scratching my head.

Someone please enlighten me.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
