If copying code was considered plagiarism we would all be committing crimes.

[RhoMancer]

-"I'm copying your math homework."
-"No! You can't do that! That's cheating."

Meanwhile

-"I'm copying your code."
-"It wasn't my code."

[hudsondo]

"This is the worst code I've ever written" got me dying.

[yeru]

designers:
— oh, look, we have similar ideas!
— nooo! you stole my idea!
programmers:
— i copied your code
— that's not my code lol

[tentaklaus]

"This code was based on the example from the language manual and tweaked based on rigorous smashing my head in to the keyboard until it stopped giving me error messages."

“Half of coding is being confused on why something is broken, the other half is stealing code to fix that problem” - my highschool coding teacher

[ubreaduuu]

or
“i copied your code”
“did it work?”
“yes”

when you copy code from a programmer, you copy code from everyone they coppied code with.

Use protection

[mansoorsoomro]

Dude is apologizing for copying someone else's code. Dude what planet are you from? 😂

“Mate I know for a fact that you didn’t build this website”
“What makes you think that?”
“Well there’s a lot of text in Latin and you don’t know Latin”

[saphironkindris]

I'm convinced there's only like 2 people out there that actually know how to code lmao.

I love how all programmers just agree that it's ok to copy snippets of code even when it is technically copyrighted

[UlshaRS]

End users: THANK YOU!
Initial coder: I deny I ever wrote this.

I wish all industries and people had the same level of acceptance towards copying and inspiration. Recognizing that every creation is a culmination of knowledge up to that point, frees us from the misguided notion of possessing our creations and replaces it with a sense of contribution to humanity.

If all code has copyright. The world would fall apart

[benji]

Ancient programmer proverb “that code you copied from stackoverflow was code copied from stackoverflow”

[FractalParadox]

And that's how we get tem bypasses and explioits

[brianfox]

I believe all code stems from a bootstrap paradox. Nobody has ever written code, it all just got copied, with no beginning.

Reusability is the best part of any programming languages.
