Pretty often! I don't usually just copy code (large codebase problems can get pretty specific), but the snippets often help get me where I need to be, whether that's figuring out the right chunk of code or sending me back to google with better search terms.

I think StackOverflow is a great resource - but there is that saying "googling is worth $1, knowing how to find the good stuff is worth $1000". I also find that it's best used with the StackOverflow focus extension because those hot network questions are DISTRACTING.
