As a programmer, I have made a career from being one step ahead, thanks to Google. I don’t bother with formal training courses anymore, when a quick skim of Google gives me what I need much quicker. Text books? I have not bought one in decades.
Tears for your career when someday you search some obscure code in a language you don't regularly use and it comes back with only ads for a paid sub for a high powered coding AI.
Or when your employer is sued by stack exchange after a code audit because their TOS says they own the copyright on all user submitted code and their whole business model is get everyone used to using it and go after businesses for copyright violation because programmers copy paste code blurbs.
The number of code snippets that can be copied and pasted and fit your use-case exactly is almost 0. The number of those code snippets that are well written and would survive code review is even smaller. Stack overflow is good for getting an idea of what libraries exist. Good programmers use it for inspiration and move on to official docs from there (assuming they exist).
There's usually other non-stack exchange resources that pop up in searches so I'll just scroll on to those.
And that copy pasting can include changing variable names to match yours while still violating copyright. And I agree that good programmers don't even do that, but there's a lot of not so good programmers out there.
That doesn't excuse a copyright violation.
My point is looking at stack overflow to see what libraries are available is not copyright violation.
Code snippets on Stack Overflow aren't copyrighted in the first place.
