Why do programmers like to "copy _paste" phrase codes from other source to apply it in their website ...

Question

Kindly asking..

Answer 1

How do you get to know that programmers like to copy and paste?
Programmers don't copy and paste often, they like to create reusable libraries, module classes and frameworks. They practice DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) on coding.

Answer 2

Not everyone does this.
Real programmers paste the code from their brain.
But many people out there do this because it is the easiest and fastest way. But you need to have proper understandings.

Answer 3

//To make coding litte easy, copy-paste - modify 👌👌

Answer 4

I don't think it will be easy to make a website with 100% original ideas.

Answer 5

Maybe they aren't quite experienced as programmers. It's not a practice that would even make sense for me to do in the work I do.

Answer 6

I will do it only when I do not know some parts of a particular code and I think it worthes to know about. After understand it, I apply this new technique, method, process, et cetera on either my projects with a different approach or process, or creating reusable snippets of code, or adding to my personal module/library, etc. I think creating your own snippets are far better productive for a development process than simply copy and paste somebody'else code. Instead of copying, you can every now and then check F12 in the own page to explore how some features of your interest are made of, especially CSS features, for instance. Above all, it is your code understanding that matters the most.

Answer 7

Never copy paste code if you don't know what's going on, never ever in production. It's absolutely fine to look for techniques, algorithms etc, even the code on the internet but always put some effort to understand, test it thoroughly on development before pushing it to production. You should be following DRY but maintaining the quality of your codebase.

Answer 8

Programmers are lazy

Answer 9

They care for their keyboards.
