But still, there's "minimal required knowledge".
- sam0x17 4y agoLike how to use google
- tester756 4y agoNope. I wouldn't want to go to doc that has to Google basic stuff.
- sam0x17 4y agoConversely, I wouldn't want to go to a doc who doesn't know how to Google basic stuff.
- epgui 4y agoUnderestimating the amount of knowledge required or of importance to know (yes, even when google exists) is just another form of the infamous Dunning-Kruger.
- sha256sum 4y agoGoogle’s search mechanisms and rankings have changed a lot over my lifetime. I don’t usually trust it to find the right answers to problems in my field unless it’s a very well supported technology. I don’t agree that “knowing how to Google” is a skill in its own right for this reason. Hell they even claimed not long ago they would fix quote searches but they seem worse than ever.
- forgotusername6 4y agoIt depends. I haven't yet in my career come across something that I couldn't research online because I hadn't been taught it. Usually the first step is to discover which words to use, reading around the domain. Once I have the words I can usually find out everything I need to do my job. Knowledge is so easily acquired these days that, while useful, it is not essential. I hire people with zero domain knowledge for that reason.
- setr 4y agoI see people struggling to find the correct initial keywords to search on all the time; and I have the same problem trying to google domains I don’t know. But this can usually be solved with sufficient effort, though I don’t know many people who are willing to put in that effort. But more problematic is when people don’t know there’s a problem to google in the first place — it seems to do the job — which is usually resolved by both education and experience, but is ultimately a result if they don’t know what they don’t know. The knowledge is generally out there, but you need to know you’re looking for it, and it’s only in the common/trivial problems that it’s so obvious that the compiler/tooling/customer just flat-out tells you you’ve missed something
