All of the same can be said for copy-and-pasting code you find in a tutorial in Google search results or in a Stack Overflow answer. This just seems to be automating that process even further.
- theden 5y agoThose extra steps can be valuable, since you'll have to work to even find the right code to copy/paste, and the context which it's in can teach you something. Even something as simple as copying from the docs, it's usually a good place to signal deprecation, use-case applicability, API updates etc. you lose all that with the automation. Oftentimes there's also discussion around a solution, and in many ways can swing one's decision on whether to use the code or not.
