The best programmers are the quickest to Google
Agree and disagree. I'm very good at finding solutions fast with Google, but those solutions only work for me because I know what I'm doing. I know several developers (or designers who do a bit of development) who rely too heavily on other people's code for every problem they encounter. As a result their work is often riddled with conflicts and often doesn't work quite the way they originally intended. Everything becomes a work around. When everything breaks they have no idea how to fix it. Lately I find if I know how to build it from scratch I'd much rather do that
