A great deal of professional coding is copy/paste. I'm not ashamed.

And adjust variable names and tweak code to work in what I have so far. If you can just copy and paste most of what you do, then you are not a programmer/developer and not working on anything very complex, in my opinion. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Of course, but that makes your code look a lot like spaghetti.

...and a vast number of bugs in professionally coded products are caused by failure to edit such code safely.
The PVS-Studio chaps frequently run articles summarising issues found in Open Source projects. For example, the following is for CryEngine V Errors[^].
Every single article like this usually includes copy-pasta errors. Its a valid technique, but you may want to employ a good static analysis tool alongside to protect your ass.

I used to have a coworker who mostly just copy/pasted.
The guy had NO idea what he was doing.
He thought generics was something I invented. He had been using LINQ (mostly .Where()) for over a year, but when he had to use .Any() he was lost in the syntax.
All of his code read exactly the same (literally, it was the same code).
I told him copy/paste was a privilege that you had to earn and he hadn't earned it yet.

Indeed, why invent when you can steal...

I had a coworker ask me one time why I typed so much. I didn't quite understand where he was coming from and then I realized he was referring to my coding. I asked him how he codes. His response was, and I quote, "I Google it."

You've found the root of the problem. Now you need to branch out and you'll blossom.

My boot (and sleep) problem (blank screen for more than a minute) turned out to be an issue with the AMD Radeon 6700M display adapter in my laptop.  It turns out that there is a Registry tweak that fixes the issue (search for EnableULPS, and set it to 0).
My thanks to all those who tried to help me.

Yeah, last night my laptop i7, 8Gb ram, touchscreen kept blanking out like it was suddenly turned off.
A couple of times it came back and it was all fuzzy looking.
Quite terrible, Microsoft.

Windows 10 had issues with graphics drivers with AMD ever since the beginning. I had been facing the same issue ever since it was released as an upgrade to systems.
I am not sure why they are not paying attention to this issue.

I suspect AMD, I've given up on their graphics cards for years because they seem incapable of producing sane drivers.

I am using NVIDIA now and I performed a clean install which would always require graphics drivers so I didn't find any upgrades, overall process is same. You always have to upgrade the drivers and I really like this, because, consider having to download 2-5 GB of extra overhead data that contains the drivers for recent hardware. Downloading a couple MBs later is a much simpler way of upgrading your system.

Oh boy, do you bring back memories of the "freeze, flash, restart" on my laptop. Of course, it's a Radeon mobile device. I'll get another couple of years out of this unit, then the next laptop I will attempt to avoid Radeon anything.
