Why copy paste is bad in programming?
Duplication of logic makes code hard to maintain. Changes need to be made and tested in multiple places. For instance, you might notice a bug with a certain piece of functionality. If the code with the bug has been duplicated using copy and paste across the code base, then fixing the bug in one place will not work!

Why is copy paste programming considered a bad practice?
When we are talking about copy paste programming as a bad practice, we mean the copy paste programming that is done out of lazyness. Instead of programming a proper base class to eliminate code smell, some just violate DRY out of lazyness.
Is it bad to copy code from other people’s projects?
If you are not good at programming then you are not good at copying others’ code, that’s a fact. This is not about copying code inside an application, which is to be avoided as much as possible. Isn’t that what sites like Stack Overflow do anyway?
What is copycopying and pasting code?
Copying and pasting code (“copy-paste”) is a primitive but very common form of software re-use. Unfortunately, this practice is fraught with dangers not least of which is duplicating bugs and security defects throughout the system.
Is it possible to copy and paste the most voted Code?
No. the person who asked the question would simple copy paste the most voted answer. The most-voted code may not work as expected. It may not be optimal. It may not handle boundary conditions or special cases correctly. Indeed, it may not even work for the questioner’s architecture, even though it did work for the person answering.
