Yeah it doesn’t really seem different from people copy/pasting from stack overflow without reading through it. This isn’t really a new thing, though I guess nobody was really acting like SO was the second coming so it’s probably happening more now.
- jjav 1y ago> Yeah it doesn’t really seem different from people copy/pasting from stack overflow without reading through it. It is vastly different because there are no (as far as I've ever seen) multi-thousand line blocks of code to cut & paste as-is from stack overflow. If you're pasting a couple dozen lines of code from a third party without understanding it, that's bad, but not unbearable to discover in a code review. But if you're posting a 5000 line pull request that you've never read and expect me to do all your work validating it, we have a problem.
