I agree. Learning to program on my own in the 80s by writing things like text adventures, I had to figure out things like parsing and sorting myself, with no idea that these were common problems with known approaches. Nowadays I lazily reach for answers on Google most of the time when I encounter a problem that is novel to me. I'm pretty sure I'm dumber now because of it.
