yup, it (COVID-19) is a nasty SOB - as for hair, well, I stopped worrying about such many moons ago - my preferred look is 'billiard ball' .. if I get COVID-19 it will find something else I value and rob me of it, I'm sure
glad it hasn't robbed you of your sense of humour

I am just some years older than you and have some school pals in the deceased lists.

So all in all, a plausible doubt to say "I don't know if you are being serious"

I thought that ED would be the only thing that would convert anti-maskers, but that works too.
It was only in wine that he laid down no limit for himself, but he did not allow himself to be confused by it.

Given the state of my hair, that's one COVID-19 side-effect I don't have to worry about.
Look on the bright side. If you're healthy enough to note minor details like the state of your hair, you can't be too ill.

Question:
Why should I hire a software engineer if I can just copy and paste code from the Internet (CP and other sites)?
Answer:
It is still worth the money. Because -
- Copying code from Internet - $ 0
- Knowing which code to copy from Internet - $ 100000 / year
- Understanding that copied code, and fixing it so that it works correctly, and passes all tests - $ 200000 / year
- Maintaining that code - $ how much?

I've done the first 3 at least for some of my projects here. Saved me time for parts of the project even if i did have to modify it.

A good software engineer will also
- 're-use' prior art/code or the ideas/techniques expressed by that code
- attribute/give credit to the original writer
- while not exposing you to legal sh*t for any breaches of the prior 2 points
- making the code maintainable is a given (or is it these days ?)

Garth J Lancaster wrote: while not exposing you to legal sh*t for any breaches of the prior 2 points
Here is a scenario:
- A software engineer takes code from the Internet.
- He/she then modifies all variable, method and class names, and then deploys this modified code into production software. (Does not modify anything else in the code). Without attribution.
- Is this an IP breach? Morally/ethically yes, but legally?
