How much of the code that devs write on a typical day is truly novel and not just a rehash / combination / adaptation of existing stuff?

He who has not copied code from stackoverflow, let him cast the first insult at ChatGPT.

So I actually think that senior devs copy and paste a lot less than everyone imagines.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve copied code from StackOverflow. Actually, I rarely even use StackOverflow at this point. Going directly to the official docs is always best.
