>Are there people who get paid to do things that simple that they can be copied and pasted from Stack Overflow?
Yes, because the reality is that someone has to do it, and a half-assed effort from a developer browsing SO is still better than getting a random Joe off of the street for $10/hr to try it.
Not all companies have interesting problems to solve 100% of the time. It's not impossible that your company is trying to solve a problem that the majority of SO questions will answer, because your problem is just that boring.
If that blows your mind, you should know there are people that get paid well to do stuff that is a lot more simple than even cobbling scripts together from the internet.
