It's one thing to take advantage of a large corpus of examples and using those to understand concepts and tailor them to your needs. That's fine. But I think it's important to distinguish that from blindly copying and pasting code throughout your codebase, complete with sections you don't even understand, are probably unnecessary, and are probably duplicated throughout the codebase. There's nothing okay about that.
And there are online businesses worth hundreds of millions built on copy/paste as the method of code reuse.
