Good point. For example, I'm sure no trained professional would ever copy code from StackOverflow.

- d4mi3n 4y agoThis gave me both a good groan and chuckle. You're pointing out a place where I think many software engineers are either untrained, unprofessional, or both. There's already a large body of discourse around the problems that come from these practices—licensing violations, security breaches, and stupendously dumb bugs. Professional rigor is a thing I wish our industry had more of, but in practice you don't see much rigor outside of safety critical applications because there is rarely incentive for it.
