No, it&#x27;s &quot;if you constantly need to use stack overflow, you&#x27;re most likely a beginner in a given tech&quot;, and real programmers are going though beginner phase much more often than fake programmers, because they learn more new stuff.<p>But also &quot;if most of your problems can be solved by stack overflow&quot; than you&#x27;re either not solving hard problems, or, and this is much, much worse, <i>you&#x27;re not aware that you&#x27;re facing hard problems</i> with things like architecture and code organization, and solve them in a naive, straight-forward way, not even recognizing the future implications — and that, indeed, means that you&#x27;re not a real programmer.
