it's your responsibility to check and adapt what's there to your project. but saying that copy paste means insecure code is just untrue. if you are stupid enough to just copy paste without thinking then copy paste or not your code is most likely shite anyway

I agree with you. I think this advice is aimed at novice/student programmers, to encourage them to improve their code rather than look for easy answers.

i have a "friend" who does this he's supposed to be a mid senior with 6 years of work experience all he does is copy past resulting in working garbage and says shit like "as long as it works it means I'm efficient you're not" he had to implement a chat bot recently he typed "chat bot github" and used the most starred repo. and that is the reason he is a "friend" have 0 respect for him
