Junior developers:

"I have no idea how to solve this one problem; I'll never get good if I just keep Googling for the answer"

Senior developers:

*46 tabs open to Google and StackOverflow for one problem*

Gotta say, it's spot-on

    I don't consider myself senior by any means, but if I've learned something, it's that it's not about whether you google or not, it's about whether you google the right stuff.

    @kamen Definitely. Plus those "senior devs" open all those tabs so they can read every nuance and opinion about the issue. Then you get the big picture and make a decision of your own based on all the "answers".

    Sometimes I just reply with a Google link so they know I'm mortal 😂

    That is the reality bro...
    It does not matter how old or pro dev you are, there is always something that you don't know and need to be googled.

    And actually many do , because instead of learning and keeping everything in mind , better to Google and see .
    Because things get updated.
    Always keep logics in mind , not the whole language properties.

    And yeah,
    I do Google but only for optimised solutions and founding new packages .
    Because a good dev never satisfies with one solution and one code .😂👍

    @Nanos true. But the author must have googled someone else's blogs on some other topic.

    Noone knows everything, although it may seem like some people do

    My Google search is ten times better than the intern, that is why I am a 10x developer

    @Nanos yeah true, I do sometimes share things on a medium that I do not find so others can see.

    @kurast hahaha, agree with you. In my last company interns used to complain of that, what i found on just one search they can not find in multiple. haha, though google is same for everyone

    @Nanos I agree with this approach most of the time. Though there are cases where the optimal choice is just to tell the fellow to go back to google.

    I'm talking about cases like this one
