All code already exists in Plato’s world of perfect abstractions. Programmers merely view this ideal world darkly and scribble what imperfect algorithms they can vaguely remember.
Stackoverflow is platonism for the masses, a means by which to copy perfect code from “programmers.”
The “other programmers” are dead. There is no perfect algorithm. And so we must become programmers unto ourselves…
