have you met an engineer who doesnt copy code from stackexchange? I’m not saying they blindly paste it in and forget about it, but copying a line or two that you (now) understand is fine.

have you needed to use microG for any apps? is it a sufficient replacement for google play?

you can still be a good engineer and still copy code from stack exchange. i wasn’t saying windows engineers are bad

windows engineers have probably been copying snippets from stackoverflow for decades, which may have been copied from the kernel or some other copyleft product
