Do people actually just copy paste? When I was much greener I never found that to work. The interface had to be thought about. And inevitably there’d be other details to modify.

If anything this just makes that easier to do wrongly. It wants to offer you code that’s not yours that you didn’t conceive of thoughtfully.

I’ve copy/pasted parts of code, but then I typically always link to the actual SO answer in the code. Sometimes it’s just the most pragmatic thing to do.

I have fixed some very broken code at work, and person who had originally added the code to the project just commented to the PR "I copied it from StackOverflow so it must be right". That person had architect title and I don't, so he must have been doing something right.
