While comments to the effect of "Write your own code" are correct to an extent, there's no need to reinvent the wheel. If there's publicly available code, why not use it and save yourself some time? The error only comes when you don't read and edit what you paste.
That all said, the question is what do you really use StackOverflow for? Certainly for me it has been a source of wisdom about obscure error messages and strange snippets.
