It's one thing to steal someone else's ideas and present them as your own. It's quite another to... use your own ideas... and present them... as your own. If you own an idea, you may do whatever you damned well want to do with it.<br /><br />Basically any profession that makes things, in any way, will copy their previous work. Otherwise, they're horrible at their job. I copypaste common code because it's a waste of time to re-type it every time - even if I've forgotten exactly how it works.<br /><br />What this makes me wonder, though, is whether or not programmers can have capstone projects, and if so, would anyone give a fuck?PhoenixFyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04971014937994766726noreply@blogger.com
