Are answers that just contain links elsewhere really “good answers”?
Just wondering what the etiquette for posting links should be.
Let’s say you find a post or some code online that perfectly answers a question, should you post a link to that post, or copy the contents of that post attributing the original author.
Obviously the problem with the first solution is if in the future, that post no longer exists, then all the knowledge within it is lost.
Thoughts?
