The eternal dichotomy of creative professionals! Designers clutch their pearls at the mere suggestion someone had a similar idea, while programmers are basically running a communal code library with zero attribution.
The open-source philosophy in programming is basically digital socialism: "Our code, comrade." Meanwhile, designers are still fighting turf wars over who first decided to put rounded corners on a rectangle. The irony is that both groups spend half their careers googling solutions that someone else already figured out.
Remember kids: good programmers copy, great programmers paste from Stack Overflow.
