    When I get helper functions from stack overflow or similar, I normally add a comment with a link to the article, mostly for my own sake so if there’s any problems later I can re-read the article to get more info, or use it to try and find other solutions.

    Yes, because till University, you’re trying to learn something new. And the best way to learn is by doing.

    At work, all you’re trying to do is save money (for the corporation). Best way to do that is to reuse, recycle.

    Anyone can copy code. Making the copied code work well in your own codebase, and fixing it when it doesn’t, is what requires skill and experience.
