I do that too. Typing it is not mindless, it makes you think "why is this code here?", "what does it do?". Another thing that I do is to refactor the new code. First, the outside code will not match the coding style of my project. Refactoring will help with that. But more importantly, it allows me to understand the new code even better.
Did this video mean nothing to you?! 😮 But in seriousness, you could take this as an opportunity to rewrite whatever code you want to copy, and maybe understand it better. Or just fix the error, and keep copying I guess. 😂
Complete out of date. Copy and paste is already dead. Instead we now have AI tools, which in turn make us EVEN MORE stupid. And the good thing: It comes directly in your IDE, so more reason to be lazy and deliver even more crappy code!
@@just4fun277 Basically yes, but it is worse, since KI suggests that some powerful mind has elaborated the details -- which is not so. You do not only search for an answer, but fill in your complete problem. When you search, you know that you must adapt it. A KI chatbot does that for you -- so the tendency is even more to just take it as it is.
i think manually typing the code you are about to paste is still better, and helps us to know what exactly it is

I think the future of programming is potentially all copypasta
1:50 no one EVER copy/pasted like this before :D
Sadly, I am using hyprland, and I messed up something, and now copy paste is not working in my VS code :(
time to move to (neo)?vim, I guess
@@しめい-l4m I guess I have to learn quitting vim

@@AndersBreg I believe I still need to improve my understanding of code.

doesn't matter if it's Stackoverflow or AI chatbots you still copy pasting.
