I find "Programmers are also human" quite funny as well. Interviews with stereotypes.

I heard similar cases where videos got taken down because of the sound of church bells, rain, or even white noise [0].

There is nothing wrong with copy pasting code from stack overflow.

I do see two kind of people doing that. One group learns from the code in order to become better, and can use it over and over to be more efficient. The other group doesn't care how it works and just wants to have a snippet that works.

The second group usually misses a curiosity, of which the effects show up in many more places than just copy pasting from stack overflow. They also tend to have a flatter learning curve. I don't want to generalize, but in this group you will encounter people who don't care about the difference between a list and a set, or think that code works when it compiles. In both cases the juniors know very little, but one grows and the other one doesn't (or less)

There is space for both in the world, but I prefer the first group in my team.

They should try programming on an airplane or without internet connection. For some the productivity drops to zero without stack overflow.

Indeed, and during rewriting they realize why the original code was made that way and how it solves the problem more efficiently than their rewrite.

The same goes for junior writers who think that complex sentences and words are a sign of superiority, and later discover that the real (and bigger) challenge is writing clearly.
