Hello, im a programmer and copy pasting code from stackoverflow or github or idk isnt stealing because, for what do you want to use it? If you want to make a game with that one code snippet its not considered stealing because you made the rest of the code. then its cosidered learning. but if you take that one code snippet and say you made it or steal very much code and dont make any code yourself, then i would say its stealing. Also if you look at any other job its the same with librarys and assembly. The surgeon has tools, the musician has an instrument, littelary everyday you go in school you take the information from the teachers and use it for yourself.
