    If I don’t use copilot to give me a piece of best practice code, I’m probably going to go and find it with a search engine.

    Obviously I’m not going to do it for every little thing but if I’m going to implement a * somewhere I screw with that what, once every 5 years?I’m going to go and look how someone else did it and probably take their exact implementation and make minor modifications.

    I’m not an absolute copy and paste fiend but I don’t have the time to reinvent the wheel every time I want to do something. For the most part it’s faster to go and grab crowd vetted code from someone that it is to go back through my own stuff and source my own implementation in the last project. Hell, and a lot of cases there might even be a better implementation than I used the last time I borrowed it from someone else.
