When I copy code from somewhere on the Internet, I include a comment with a link to the original. I encourage my team to do the same. Plagiarism should be frowned upon.
I dont do it because i care about plagiarism… i do it for having a record of what i had to do to workaround an obscure problem… but really one shouldnt copy the random code off the internet directly anyway, since thats an licensing nightmare if you ever publish your code base. Better off using the ‘copied code’ as a basis for your own.
When I was in college, in a network programming class we had a semester final coding assignment. I forget now what all it was supposed to do, but I do recall my friend in the same class spent a week of free time writing his. I forgot about the assignment completely until he asked me how it was going for me a few hours before it was due. With no other options, I simply punched in a example program from the textbook, replaced about 10 lines in the middle and tested.
It seemed to work. So, I very clearly labeled which code was mine, and which was copied, so that I technically wasn’t doing a plagiarism. Then I turned it in, and hoped for the best. I got a 100 on it. My friend was pissed, because he only got a 99.

It’s all from one person posting on stackoverflow.

nvm I figured it out
All the code has already been written, and building software is about piecing together stack overflow posts.
Discuss.
It’s not called plagiarism, it’s called inheritance
If the inventor of the web didn’t want to copy things he wouldn’t have made it plaintext.
You don’t need to plagiarize code, just use software libraries.
I feel like half the “timesavings” of AI could have been done better by someone making a code library that is actually organized.
Not even well organized… Just organized.
That would be plagiarism in an academic / essay writing sense. I can’t write an essay and just insert the entirety of book written by someone else in the middle of it.
Sure you can. You just have to properly cite it.
Ah yes. The bootstrap paradox code. Self created. Blessed be.
