Everything depends on the project (e.g. programming games is different than making web apps), but: > When was the last time you can honestly say you used a whiteboard to solve a programming problem Every time there is some interesting hard problem which I want to share with the team. We used whiteboards almost daily. > Googling and ending at a StackOverflow question with a great answer I google like 5% of stuff I do, because: * a lot of time is spent on debugging and you just can't google why your program crashes on in file X on line Y * a lot of stuff is too easy and there is no need for me to google it * architecture - you usually can't google "how do I architect system X"
