Oh, wow, thank you very much.

It's funny because I thought "you can't just copy and paste SO, there's a number of things to think of to be able to do it correctly". Guess I'm not the only one who thought that.

Anyway, most intellectual work is just applying known recipes (copy-paste, renaming a few variables), so it's just a matter of granularity and sources. The hate for SO copy-pasters owes a lot to the few beginners who don't understand that yet and take copy-paste literally.

I came here to post this, you're a great person.

This post fills me with dread, it's come to the point during code review that I have to be sure the shitty devs aren't coping the bad answers from stackoverflow... I hope they don't find this.
