I'm curious what kind of programming job you could have where you look up stuff less than 10 times a day.

- ahoka 3y agoSomething they are actually competent doing, I suppose.
- lokar 3y agoThat seems needlessly harsh. But, generally, yes, I tend to know the details of what I'm doing already. If anything I might check some API docs for a library.
- d3w4s9 3y agoIf much of your development is spent on implementing business logic in a language you are familiar with, and you have a decent IDE, I don't know what you use stackoverflow for at that frequency. Occasionally you may need to consult stackoverflow for a specific issue in string manipulation or API usage, but that's not something you run into a lot.
- harshalizee 3y agoI rarely ever need to use SO on a daily basis. I've been programming on the .NET ecosystem for a while now and usually if I need anything I just directly go to the docs. I used SO a lot when I was a junior engineer. Most of my issues now stem from biz logic or internal design that really can't be googled for.
