@ocramovic it's okay to copy code. Just make sure that you understand the code you are copying

Copying code is fine assuming the proper license is used. But also make sure you understand what it is doing as well, and don't forget to adjust it to the use case you have.
A lot of times I see developers just straight up copy and paste code from stackoverflow with zero changes to their use case or variables changed.
I finished a coding bootcamp, but I still feel like a total beginner. I was hand held throughout the whole god damn thing! Sure, it's my fault for not studying the way I was supposed to, BUT GOD DAMN!!! I mean it's so hard not to copy code if it's right in front of you.. Oh well, a learning experience nonetheless.. Going for the Odin Project now with a different approach! Fingers crossed
