Based on my own experience, I remembered back in the day when I first started programming, in PHP, I copied many code from other commenters on PHP.net a lot (their online manual allows others to post code underneath the main docs). So I expect some new programmers to do the same but with StackOverflow. Of course, I stopped doing that once I got hold on the real knowledge. In fact, now I look back the code that I copied from the others, it's just like watching a horror movie, and I rather rewrite the whole thing in my own term. I guess the fairer statement to put in is "some programmer copy those code to 'get started'".
