Copying and pasting from Stack Overflow

Is it acceptable to use code from answers on Stack Overflow? They often don't specify licenses but if they didn't want you to use it they wouldn't post it.

I mean, yeah, you can give attribution, but I mean, even with attribution, do you think it's acceptable to take Stack Overflow answers for your job? You're working on code for your job which will eventually be pushed to production. Is it okay for you to take someone's answer from Stack Overflow, give them the proper credit (as in the link you mentioned), and then use that?

It's not about whether you're allowed to by Stack Overflow. I am asking: is it acceptable in the workplace, by your employer and coworkers, to do this? Or would they see that as lazy? Edited on 02/09/2018 02:19.

They can't really tell. They're more interested in results, hence why they hire pajeet-tier ``Appers.''

Wait seventeen years until the patent or copyright expires, then use the code.

Real world apps are cloased source, why do you care? The only people who will ever possibly see the code are the two other java pajeets in your team. Compile your page with JSP or shit and ship them out, nobody gives a shite.
