Actually started webdev in 2004 php3 and basic js. Back then the joke was "nobody know how to code js, everybody just copied this one piece of code and mutated it from there".
It sadness me to think such behavior is more entrenched in todays development environment with sites like stack-overflow.
Don't get me wrong I'm grateful that sites like SO exist. I'm also grateful that when I had to learn the ropes or solve "hard problems", I could not turn to my browser. Like I do today; every fsck'ing time; because it is easier and I'm lazy.
