A touch grumpy today are we? Did you wake up on the wrong side of bed

You might consider the possibility that he actually wrote these small
snippets of code over his 30 years of programming. Done properly, the
code can be written in general terms such that it can be linked
anywhere it is needed. As long as the code receives and returns
parameters and doesn't therefor use any program-specific variables it
can be reused. It is more difficult to do, and requires a bit more
forethought but the long-term benefits are enormous. Only a fool would
re-write something that they had done before. His approach is actually
quite intelligent.
