- Noumenon72 5y agoI watched a coworker Google the syntax for ElasticSearch the other day. He found stuff I never saw while reading the docs, intuited how the library should work while barely skimming the search results, and finished while I still would have been reading the documentation. I would have hired that guy to senior developer based on that one demonstration. He brought so much experience and context to everything he searched for that he finished 3x as fast as I would have.
