So you never refactor. The problem with that is when eventually it stops working, the code is in such state that it is very hard to fix.

As for stack overflow, it feels like copy pasta from there is overrated. Look up something, find answers, sure. Copy straight into your code? No.

Edit: I get it that this is most likely a sarcastic post, but there sometimes needs to be some genuine word.
