You can't cheat in coding competitions. In a real life job, however, you can.

Can you define cheating? Does looking on Stack Overflow for solutions to real life job problems count as cheating?

(That was a partly rhetorical question. My point is that what is considered cheating in coding competitions is pretty much normal in real life jobs. Somebody who knows to look for solutions on Stack Overflow, I call them "resourceful", not cheater. Being resourceful is really important in real life jobs.)
