@succcubbus is there any way to make a pre-commit-hook out of this? Because i can't get my boss to change editors.

@succcubbus and that's why i think i'll never get rid of this ^^"

@YouAreAPIRate or you could just quit and work at a new company. 😉

@PonySlaystation i already told my boss i'm quitting, this is the last month i'm working at that place. But i'm trying to leave a better workflow for the colleagues and the guy that'll replace me
My biggest enemy is what i call "development fork bomb".
My boss duplicates code on a daily basis. Instead of creating subclasses he simply creates new files by copying lines from other files. The projects class hierarchy is as flat as holland.
You can take a comment, do a project-wide search and you will find 3+ matches, an ugly hack i wrote exists 4 times in the project, and so on.
Worst of all, we spend more time on bugfixes than refactoring. With my power i could add a commit-hook to block or lessen this behaviour, but i cant. There's no program that can detect this reliably and sometimes it needs to be done.
This is a curse i'm stuck with appearently.
