Until you come across people who can't even do that.
I'm unsure of your age, but I was a developer before Google was a thing, and researching your answer, using Gopher, Usenet, and/or books was very much how we solved problems.

- azinman2 5y agoI’m not saying knowing how to google isn’t a necessary skill with unequal distribution. I’m saying that’s not the pathway that’ll take her as a front end web dev and allow her to write the underlying malware that the front end provides a UI around. It’s as meaningless a statement as “I know how to read books so I can learn new skills.”
