As a beginner in the coding world over the past decade, I have written less than 100 lines of js and fixed or amended even less, created a handwritten website using css, minimal js, and html. I have done some bash scripting and use the terminal in linux quite frequently. I just learned about regex(exciting!).
I was at first shocked to see how vague the searches here were. Then it quickly dawned on me that everything I am trying to do has been done before(basically). Therefore, my searches can be very specific.

This works well for the first couple of years, but I've found that beyond that you start getting borderline useless results, because you're tasked with doing things that don't have a precedent (at least not in the framework, language, or business use case you are working with).
- williamdclt 5y agoIt's a simplification, but the difference is probably that as a beginner you're searching "how to do this thing with this lib". The experienced dev is probably searching "how does this lib work", and will figure out "how to do this thing" by themselves once their mental model of the lib is more accurate
