Worse is certain code audits will find code that matches, and you have to sit in hours of discussions explaining why no in fact, that's not a copy, it's just basically the only way to escape quotes or call that library function or iterate all lines in a text file.
Even worse is if the developer included a comment linking to the Stack Overflow answer as a citation, which makes it look like copy and paste (maybe it even was), yet still is the code anyone would write independently.
