I've been a professional developer for 15+ years, I don't think I've ever seen anything posted on stack overflow of high enough quality that I would happily paste it into a production system.

Great to use a guideline for a problem... but copy and pasting from stack overflow (even with a comment to that page, which i've seen!) just no!

I'm inclined to agree with you, though I still think that RealDinosaur deserves a lot of credit. He or she was still honest and forthcoming about that. It's impossible to start teaching better practices if people aren't honest about what they do!
