    Same thing with all the folks who took the “copy pasting from stackoverflow” joke literally.

    I regularly have to find guidance online through code examples, but you need to understand what the code you’ve found actually does under the hood for when it inevitably has issues because it wasn’t made for your specifc use case.

      Do people actually copy and paste code with no understanding of how it works, from SO or Copilot? I always thought this was just a joke.
