    When I copy code from somewhere on the Internet, I include a comment with a link to the original. I encourage my team to do the same. Plagiarism should be frowned upon.

      I dont do it because i care about plagiarism… i do it for having a record of what i had to do to workaround an obscure problem… but really one shouldnt copy the random code off the internet directly anyway, since thats an licensing nightmare if you ever publish your code base. Better off using the ‘copied code’ as a basis for your own.
