Wait till you copy his debugging comments too.

Put yourself in the meeting's shoes (or the notebook's shoes), what if copying the comments was actually a way to figure out why the guy's code kept crashing? It's like reading the recipe's notes before you copy the ingredients, maybe it saves time in the long run.

Wait, you were seriously copying code line by line at a public meetup? That's like printing out a menu at a restaurant just to read the descriptions out loud to the waiter. Nobody does that unless they're trying to set a world record for awkwardness.
