How do you like your sourcecode?

How do you like your sourcecode?

Do you prefer your sourcecode in an executable file or in a text format you can copy and paste?

How often do you use sourcecode?

Do you use it to learn from or to implement your code?

Where do you get most of your source code?

What exactly do you mean by "source code"? Because no one I have ever met or talked to used the term to refer to anything other than the textual representation of a computer program.
For example, this is source code:

#include <iostream>

int main(){
    std::cout <<"Hello, World!\n";
}

But this isn't:

The OP might be referring to header-only libraries versus linking to a shared library.

* And I prefer either one so long as it compiles on Windows and Linux systems without ~~serious~~ any modification

I think I can decipher his badly formulated question to mean. "Have you dived in other's source code for learning?" If that's not what he's saying, then he should have stated it more clearly.

Sorry, you're right that was a terrible way to ask my question.

I guess a better question would be do you use game engines or other program engines created by other people or do you prefer to write your own?

Do you read books and look at short examples of code to learn programming or do you prefer to look at complete programs for ideas?

Is any of this making any sense?

Make that three. It's fun.

I sign in with my google account. I have two of them. One is personal one is for my server.
It pretty much depends on which computer I'm sitting at. I try to just use my RJ one but I wasn't paying attention at the time. Sorry.

I thought I had asked the question with my RJ account. so it's my bad.

Sometimes adbots are hilarious.

I wanted to report these two but they were just too funny:
