Anyone can copy code. Making the copied code work well in your own codebase, and fixing it when it doesn't, is what requires skill and experience.
When I was 8 I was making a "video game" (a complete bundle of code trash ๐) and I would copy people's code and everything would melt down. I would spend hours debugging just to realize I needed to pass an extra argument or indent or something.
Today I'm better at my job. I am now the one writing confusing function APIs ๐
