One of the more frustrating parts of my job is dealing with junior and intermediate programmers who spin their wheels try to figure it out themselves rather than google it.
Things like spending several hours on a problem where copy/pasting the error into google yields a github issue complete with a work around or writing a boat load of code when there already exists a package or plugin that does exactly that.
The worst is when a google search would have revealed that our chosen framework already built in the desired feature they just spent the afternoon writing.
- ArkyBeagle 11y agoFWIW, even in the 1980s, people on the team had CompuServe accounts and we raided those mercilessly. Where do you find junior programmers who don't Google with impunity?
