I wonder, Can a programmer survive without StackOverflow !! What if Google goes off for some days!! Life without these legends. Huh..🤔

What if there is no electricity itself?😂

@Shri lol😂

What if we are just inside a "matrix" based world ?

You are aware other engines beside google exist, right?

Also, stackoverflow becomes useless after you learn the foundations of a language and start looking for anything remotely advanced.

@RazorSh4rk This. I admittedly visit Google lots of times in work, but if you can't do your job without it (or a search engine) or SO, you've got bigger problems. To me this is down to people learning based on buzzwords and trends rather than programming fundamentals and problem solving.

The Onion Router to the rescue

If Google is gone I probably notice it a couple a days later since I use DuckDuckGo

Bing is actually more usable than you think. I was forced to use it once and it wasn't terrible.

I'll call it a vacation :D

I find that I google very infrequently when using technologies I know. I believe c does take some googling every once in a while thanks to compiler differences and the fact that the language has some funny syntax to it.

@Syntax nice so i plan my vacation at that time ;)

I once could not get an answer to my questions on stackoverflow.com. I was forced to read long complicated docs. After days of frustration it eventually clicked and I was able to achieve what I was trying to do. I can't remember exactly what the problem was but I do remember it being done with a few lines of code and in hindsight very simple. I kicked my self and felt dumb because a simple problem took days in my case to figure out. It was gratifying to find the solution on my own though. Needless to say I'm not a fan of reinventing the wheel and I would have appreciated the answer from stackoverflow :(

@matiszac i am very active on SO. I don't get answers many times too when they are out of attention. SO is only site where question is uploaded on every few seconds(check by pressing refresh). Then they get neglected.now the policy got so strict.i was banned for a month for asking question😂now i am released, able to answer though. It's a good feeling when we solve on our own, but we expect well explained answer from SO still ;)
