How much of the code you write is actually written by you in your programs?

Not a lot of my codes are original since I just copy textbooks, online resoures, etc and just modiy the sizes, name of the components to my componets and buttons names, etc.

I only come up with the ideas, modify the GUI, and find code that help me make the program.

Sometimes I just download people source files and edit it a little bit, and make it my own file.

I occassionally fix the data types to make their code more efficient like using Byte data type instead of integers to save memory space, but it does not make much or any difference on modern PC.

99% is my code,

although some is reused code from other projects as well as modified for that specific use.

Interesting, do you write a lot of programs which are very unique from other programs currently available?

Majority of code i write is php so i can reuse as i wish,

win32 programs i write are generally specialised for my systems and to do exactly what i need to do i re use samples from other sources but by the time it makes it to application it's been efficiently mangled into the shape i want.
