I program professionally, and I copy paste all the time. The difference is when I copy paste, its 10-20 lines of code, not a line or two— and I’m not fishing for a solution to the problem. I already have the optimal solution in my head, and I am just searching for the solution I already know. It’s just faster than typing it by hand 🤷🏻

I do this often. Not because I can't do it myself or understand what I'm doing, but why would I write the exact same code when it has been done and pasted online a million times?
