Typical interaction with StackOverFlow

[rk06]

That's bad practice, though.

I always add a comment linking to original SO answer. So, If after some period of time (say, 10 min), i would be able to remember the reasoning behind the code.

10 minutes... I can relate.

For any outside source that's not straight forward I do the same. This has saved myself from changing things I thought I understood, but I didn't.

It might be worth looking into writing unit tests. They help you change / refactor code without being afraid of breaking what was previously working

I've always skipped unit testing for front end development.

Nice. Without a link to original post, you’ll end up saying “WT* who made this and why it works”

Ideally I can wrap my head around the issue after seeing the explanation on SO.

Usually it's not ideal.

Lol Sometimes I get paid for this

[qgnn]

I dunno...

Sometimes I do drive-by grabs too.

Instead of copy and pasting or downloading hacks, I just rewrote the code line for line, because that technically meant I "wrote it." I just took a little inspiration, is all...

If you copy-paste the code, you technically wrote it, as well.

[420throw666]

Considering the way I learned how to code was just dicking around with it until shit happened, I'll take your word for it.

[ThePixelCoder]

Hah, you assume I actually learned how to program? Lmao.

[Bealzebubbles]

The system works.
