Do mechanical or electrical engineers do their jobs without access to datasheets or reference tables? In what world is engineering defined on a person's ability to remember facts vs their ability to build things inside of resource constraints and with high levels of tolerance?
- bdcravens 9y agoI didn't say no reference materials, only Stackoverflow :-)
- lovich 9y agoIf you can guarantee documentation as good as documentation for physical materials then I'd say yea. I do agree that there are a portion of developers who seem to just copy and paste from stack overflow without even trying to understand whats happening
- bdcravens 9y agoYes, and that's was what I was referring to. My bigger point of course being that there are plenty of "engineers" that really don't know how to solve problems, but just assemble code.
