Drowning together in stack overflow

Content me my friend's code my code 1.021.463

That sleek, high-performance Lamborghini code snippet you found on Stack Overflow versus the public transportation monstrosity you somehow managed to connect it to. Sure, they're both green, but one's designed to break speed limits while the other breaks only your spirit during code review. The perfect illustration of how we convince ourselves our Frankenstein creation is "working as intended" when in reality it's just barely functional enough to lumber from point A to point B without crashing. Bonus points if you've ever confidently said "I understand how this works" about code you absolutely did not write.

Content When you copy an obscure line of code from stack overflow, and it makes your program compile succesfully, but you have no idea what it does The scope ofiny engineering genius literally knows no bounds.

The education system: "Plagiarism is unacceptable!" Programmers in the wild: "I stole your code." "It's not my code." Welcome to the real world, where Stack Overflow is our collective homework and GitHub is just a sophisticated copying machine with version control. The entire programming industry runs on the ancient art of Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, followed by just enough modifications to avoid triggering the cosmic plagiarism detector. We don't steal code—we "implement existing solutions with attribution via forgotten browser history."
