That is the harshest, least "good faith" interpretation of the OP's post 
I have ever read. It doesn't look to me like that attitude is intended to 
be welcoming to students who are trying to walk the narrow tightrope of 
being part of a community of programmers who value sharing and 
collaboration while avoiding running foul of overly strict academic rules 
about so-called plagiarism.
