Abstract :
Once online, code multiplies. One programmer asks a programming question, another person answers it with a snippet of code, and then the snippet is pasted into countless projects, adapted, tweaked, and tucked away. Some of those improved versions make it back online where they can be refined again by the next wave of scavengers, but often they´re simply forgotten because putting code online takes effort.
