I guess that's a +1 for Google's SERPs when it comes to programming, unlike how bad they do in other search sub-domains. But I'm biased, I'm an off-shore programmer who has copy-pasted code snippets from Google searches countless times (they were SE links in 99% of the cases). Of course I could have copied the code by hand in order to feel morally superior, but as I am lazy I didn't see any need for that. At least I always made sure to include a link to the SE page from where the code snippet had been taken, so lets hope that SE won't change their link structure anytime soon.
