Is this serious? I've never literally copy pasted from stackoverflow. I read the answer and then go write my own code. Did you seriously copy pasted an entire chunk of code and committed it to your codebase after some edits?
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoIf you identify it's the right code, why not ?
- gnulinux 5y agoIf it's exactly what I want, then I'd be ok. It's just that, that never happened to me. The closest I came was, I was checking a regex and realized I missed some cases, so I copy pasted the regex string from SO. I can't imagine a scenario where a >1 line code in SO can be exactly what my codebase requires. Regardless, my methodology isn't going to SO to find code, I go to SO to read the answers, understand then write code. I never thought when people talk about "copy paste from SO" they literally mean like copy someone's code and paste it to your text editor.
