    I've 'kinda' done that ... if only because the guy by asking .... kinda answered it for me. Like his approach made the answer obvious.

    An experienced dev could isolate the good parts from the bad parts of the question, analyze if the problems are relevant to the current use case, ultimately use it in crafting a perfectly acceptable bit of code.

    My coworker is not an experienced dev.

    I often copy the code from the question, because my searches usually lead me to similar but not identical questions to mine so they usually have the part I was looking for figured out.
