I don’t know how it is amongst FAANGs but I’m sure more than one of my previous employers chief legal counsel would have had an aneurysm if they saw how much code was copy and pasted from not just stackoverflow but devs asking their friends at other companies for help, who had no issue copy and pasting the code they wrote at work over. I had somewhat of a legal background? Understanding? Whatever term means I’m not a lawyer started down pre law and learned a few tidbits so I was concerned enough to always start from scratch instead of copy and pasting when helping. Fuck me though if a good 25%-33% of my coworkers functions weren’t an exact copy of what’s in other companies codebase
