Why Skidding is Bad...

Generally, I don't really think skidding is bad.

Sometimes I always wondered why skidding is being frowned upon with programmers and coders.

From my point of view, skidding is fine unless you're using it as a learning tool, same as references and whatnot.

I get it, you're new to programming.Β 
Just take time to learn with your programming language, its structures, and its flow/syntax.

Yes, this is a discussion, and no, I don't want to incite some drama here.
Just a civil, lighthearted discussion.

That's fine. Using it as a learning tool is a good use of existing code. Skidding is frowned upon because many steal other's unauthorized code and do not give credit. Some even pass it off as their own.

Skidding is bad if you don't credit the actual owner of the source imo.

Useless thread in my opinion. Can't wait for this thread to be filled with drama.

1. Yes this is a discussion, but isn't in the discussion category. Look at the top of this thread, it says Forums > scripts, not Forums > Discussions.
If you want this thread to be in the Discussions category, click Change Forum and select "Discussion"
2. Skidding is generally bad because "developers" like to take that code, put it in their own code, hide it, and then say it's their and profit off of it.
3. If those "developers" are at least using that other code to learn from it, then yes it's fine.Β
