Copy-paste code or write your own?

Question

JavaScript

Hello!
I noticed on my own that 80 percent of my code I copy-paste and remake for myself. Share your experience. How often do you copy someone else's code? And is it bad?

Answer 1

Mastery begins with imitation.

Answer 2

I regularly copy code from SO, changing only classes and IDs. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Answer 3

Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. Especially if you take the code from open sources.

Answer 4

Копипастить, но понимать что и для чего. А тупо как codemonkey не приведет ни к чему хорошему.

Answer 5

Ленивые копи-пастеры уже давно придумали и используют наследование... copy&paste like a boss :)
