Yeah, copying an incorrect answer from SO thousands of times is much better!

(The subject at hand isn't whether libraries are good or not, it's whether copying something off the internet is. In the post, it turns out it isn't. If it was a library, the author could have fixed and updated the library, and the issue would be fixed for everyone that uses it. left-pad isn't an issue with libraries per se, it's an issue with library management)
