Do people actually do that much copy paste programming? People I work with are more inclined to read the docs and lean on intellisense. The people I've seen cling to chatgpt have been spending a lot of time forgetting LSPs exist and wondering why some hallucinated method doesn't exist... They also tend to think really long 1 liners are good code over explicit easy to read 3 liners...

- cookieperson 3y agoYea but when you really look at the numbers most people are copy pasting git commands, npm package manager commands, warning suppression syntax, etc. That's not really programming and is a symptom that the tools people are using stink or that they don't use those features very often. Not to say there aren't millions of other copy pasted but most of the remaining ones seem to be about data science, which is again a good hint that an API is complicated, and the fallout there isn't too bad because as data scientists work they check their manipulations.
