If nothing else this whole copilot thing is helping ease some chronic imposter syndrome
Of course it turned out the code I'd blindly inserted into my project contained a number of bugs. In one or two cases, quite serious ones. This, even though it was the accepted answer.
It was probably more effort to fix up the code I'd copy pasta'd than write it from scratch. Since then I've never copied and pasted from StackOverflow verbatim.
yeah right. I wish.
(Not saying every dev does this)
But, I can't think of a single scenario where I've copied something from Stack Overflow. I'm searching for the idea of how to solve a problem, and typically the relevant code given is either too short to bother copying, or it's long and absolutely not consistent with how I want to write it.
Very honest suggestion: learn how to touch type. You can still copy if needed, but your typed input will be much faster.
Typing when you could paste is like having that Github Copilot put the right sentence right in front of you and you decide to type over it instead. Not only does it feel like wasted and robotic effort, typing everything leads to RSI.
I'm not sure why people disagree. Another symptom is that I insist on aliases for everything while others type out all the commands every time. Maybe I get distracted by the words when I type and lose my train of thought?
