Learning any programming language can be challenging. Computers can only do what they are told so the quicker you understand the way computers process programs the easier it is to program. I remember it took me a while to understand this and I would overcomplicate my software programs. I thought the more lines of code must mean I am doing something right. Until a very experienced programmer told me how being a lazy programmer is a good thing. He explained if you can get code or an algorithm that provides the correct output why develop a new version? It made sense that reusing efficient code is not a bad thing.

what do you think of reusing code?

i need a short response :)
