I would have rated this book 5 stars, but am docking it 1 star because it is impossible to copy pasta from the physical into my code editor.

After I read this book I was able to complete all of my CS homework assignments. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because on multiple occasions the posted solution was not exactly what I needed so I couldn't use it.

The only book you need to be an awesome developer. Mr. Nayak is a thought leader in this space was once considered to give a talk at Google I/O.

Reading this in the era of "chat GPT" and "GitHub Copilot" is amazing. I mean, at least in Stack Overflow, you know who originally wrote the code😂

"Copying and Pasting from Stack Overflow" is a must-read for any software developer who wants to learn how to effectively use this valuable resource.
The book provides a clear and concise guide to using Stack Overflow, and it also covers the ethical considerations involved in code duplication.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their coding skills.

I lost my first copy during a move but was lucky enough to find another copy, bound in fine Corinthian leather, in an antiquarian bookshop in Slough.

Does anyone know if there a plan for an audible version??

I'm sure this book was just copy-pasted from a Stack Overflow comment 8 years prior to publication.
