When you copy a big answer from StackOverflow and it works perfectly, but then you feel bad for a split second that you just copied the whole thing and didn't do anything creative :(

At least you can say that my code is as good as Jon Skeet's
:-P

don't worry, the split second gets shorter with practice ... I think I still get the bad feeling but it's just too brief to reach my conscious mind

Just think you are using open source code :)

Remember, reuse is a core principle of software development. ;)

@jens-peter I understand the code of course. I wouldn't just blindly copy paste it. But still doesn't feel creative :P

This means you still have some morale left, isn't that good?

Is there truly nothing you can refactor for that snipplet to better solve your domain problem? I like to treat answers on stackoverflow as speeding up the coding process by giving me a good starting point. Also, it helps understanding what someone else was doing by debugging it. So the next time I know how to solve a similar problem by myself.

@k0pernikus Great mentality, keep it up sir!

If you upvoted the answer, you shouldn't feel bad about it ;)
