So what's the difference between looking it up in place A (books, offline MDN) or place b (stackoverflow, blogs, online MDN)?

- MonaroVXR 5y agoI am trying to be less dependent on the Internet and try train myself to be better, that's it. Same goes for game too right? Look-up solution and the puzzle is done. Without thinking. I use a website/app and books, the website updates itself. But for some things I still need to look elsewhere than Mozilla MDN, e.g W3.org

- dylan604 5y agoAlso, retention seems to be better for me when researching a book vs online. It's kind of a mental thing probably. "I don't want to have to stop to pull that book down every time I need this, so I better remember this" compared to "I don't really need to remember this because it's just a websearch away"

- Graffur 5y agoWhy would those debugging skills be 'better'?
