For me there are a bunch of different kinds of looking stuff up as well. It’s almost all valuable though. Sometimes there’s highly specific - reading the docs.

For me there are a bunch of different kinds of looking stuff up as well. It’s almost all valuable though.
Sometimes there’s highly specific - reading the docs.
Sometimes it’s adjacent or wildly different technology/concepts.
Sometimes it’s thinking about a side project or making a toy piece of software to try something out, and the reading that goes into learning how to do that.
Equally just browsing HN and others.
I find there’s a lot of learning by osmosis that’s necessarily not measurable/quantifiable.
- bharal 6y agoIt is wild that nobody seems to know - anecdotally (it's all anectodal, i guess) i've heard anything from 20% to 90%, it really depends who i ask. how much development experience do you have, and are you front/backend (or devops?)
- developer92 6y agoAdd to that in my current job, reading confluence, trying to work out if the page is up to date, and asking other people. So lots of product/our specific legacy code knowledge is needed which can't be found on the internet.
