AntiPaste, because Pasting Code Is Harmful
March 28th, 2009
A while back I proposed the idea of a Visual Studio Add-In to discourage people from copying and pasting code. The idea got such a **great** reception, I felt honor-bound to provide a proof of concept implementation so that the guys at JetBrains would have something to start off with, when they implement this into ReSharper.
When you attempt to paste into the Editor, Clippy appears to ask you a question:
And he won’t let you continue the operation until you affirm that yes, you have considered alternatives, or to forget about it.
Code is up at Google Code SVN. I know you’ll love it.
