Today @ 4pm:

New dev: I need help with this issue, i've been stuck on it all day.

Me: ok let's look ...... ok, and did you try google this?

New dev: ... no

Me: ... why?

New dev: well this is clearly my issue, why would I google it? I only google for things I don't know

Me: ... ok ... we'll do you know what this bug is then?

New dev: haha ok, fair point, I'll give that a try. Thanks for the tip.

Seriously, should I be worried? I feel worried

    Most people have to learn that you could google everything

    @rebelt2i he's a new dev to the company but not an intern. Has at least 4 years exp.

    I don't get it

    It's a hard call. I do at times try to solve problems I could just Google but I definitely wouldn't waste a day on it.

    I'd be a bit worried.

    I hate it when newbies don't try to figure it out themselves first. I don't generally have that problem with my new hires. They are awesome :)

    Hmmm the best way is to let them figure it out themselves. You did good there, just direct them to Google :)

    Compared to other rants, I wouldn't be worried at all. The guy understood you got a point and complied with you instantly.

    I think you should be worried when he can't solve it even after googling. I came across devs that react the same as this one, but when they learned to Google everything they are stuck at, things got better

    @francis-regan yeah ... but he didn't ... I had to end up googling it for him because I was going to be off for 2 days, and the thoughts of another 2 days of no work scared the hell out of me

    @mekna ... yeah so the same guy has asked me about 6 times this week, about an issue. Each time I reply "is there an error in the console" and each time it's like the first time he heard that.

    Genuinely worried I will have to teach him how to google
