I don't recall meeting a developer honest/confident enough to admit to copy/pasting off of Stack Overflow. That takes one heck of a lot of courage.
I don't actually know you, but I like you. That was really great to read!
- LandR 8y agoI've been a professional developer for 15+ years, I don't think I've ever seen anything posted on stack overflow of high enough quality that I would happily paste it into a production system. Great to use a guideline for a problem... but copy and pasting from stack overflow (even with a comment to that page, which i've seen!) just no!
- hluska 8y agoI'm inclined to agree with you, though I still think that RealDinosaur deserves a lot of credit. He or she was still honest and forthcoming about that. It's impossible to start teaching better practices if people aren't honest about what they do!
