Is copy and paste a thing when it comes programming, coding and the likes?
I learned very early on that copying and pasting somebody else’s code takes longer in the long run that writing it yourself. In my opinion unless you really understand it, copy and paste code will probably have issues which will be a nightmare to resolve. Don’t get me wrong, I mean finding other peoples code and learning from it is essential, but we don’t just paste it into our app. We rewrite the concepts into our app. But I’m constantly hearing about people who cut & paste, and they talk about it like it’s common practice.
Yes all the time, even the greatest programmers copy and paste codes. After a brief good search, programmers do copy and paste the code. But what actually matters is that you must understand the logic first so that you dont have to copy-paste next time you need to implement the same logic. It doesn’t change nothing to your skills, because you have to be good to know if what you’re going to copy is what you really need.
