If you know what to google for. It happened many times to me that I was unable to even know what/how to search for something or didn't know someone already solved that problem in ingenious ways and every specialist knew that, but I wasn't a specialist. I'm a programmer but when I watch machining videos on YT I discover solutions to problems I've never thought would exist.

Ok, that's true when you are in a new domain and don't know the terminology well enough to google effectively.

This is circle of competence, another common topic on Farnam Street. It's knowing what you don't know so you can find out rather than puff up and fake it.
