What is your take on "steal code?" Are you thinking substantial portions, like a control system or the code behind a semantic image processor, or are you thinking the implementation behind 'reverse a linked list?'
- whatever1 4y agoIn my opinion stealing is when you benefit from an implementation that you were not supposed to copy-paste. I do not think that using an existing idea to work on your own implementation is stealing. But copilot does not reimplement ideas, it blatantly copy-pastes implementations (with comments, bugs and everything)
- seadan83 4y agoThat was not quite an answer to the question I asked. I'm curious what scale of implementation you have in mind. Are we talking many lines, a block, one line? Asked another way, could that implementation be one line? Say, an implementation to logging a java exception within a catch block? Or, is the implementation something you would find for a leetcode question? Or are we talking something larger like the implementation of evaluating a mathematical formula in spreadsheet software?
