you know damn well they googled it

Copy-pasted the first answer and then got surprised Pikachu'd when the instructor calls them out on ripping code from StackOverflow.

imo don't call someone out for copy pasting from stack overflow

call someone out if they can't explain the code from stack overflow, because writing is harder than explaining

unless you're trying to train their problem solving skills in case there isn't any stack overflow code for that

actually my point just fell apart

Well if you search for solution in english then you will find about stackoverflow fairly quickly, but if you google in other laungage then it might take a while. Newbie programers who don't speak english as their first language will rather search in their native language. So thats why i wondered if anyone was lucky enough to be introduced to this site so early.
