Would you be willing to finish a project or creation instantly, in exchange for losing any experience or materials you'd otherwise have doing it the long way? (lemmy.zip)

If it's a book, you have the manuscript but no research, notes, or prior revisions. If it's a program, you have the compiled binary but no source code or anything you would've learned writing it. Etc.

No because then you cant do anything else to it. Its stuck in whatever state it pops into existence in because you don't understand it.

    This was the first thing that came to mind when they mentioned a program. I very rarely create programs that don't need to be updated later, unless they're single use throwaways.

    I've inherited support for programs that we had lost the source code for, though, and that sucks.

    So that's a no from me.
