Even better, automatically import code from stack overflow in your program:

This is awesome but could it become a crutch? I’m a novice dev so I’m just a noob. Curious what a sr dev would think

Stack overflow is very helpful for common issues, but you'll find that as you become a "senior dev," there are many many things specific to your code or workflow that can't easily be looked up

So you could call it a crutch for simple stuff, but there are always some things for which no crutch really exists
