- pooriaazimi 14y agoAs much as I don't like google, I must say that I find google to be a programmers best friend (you google for it and find the stackoverflow questions you were looking for. SO's search is much inferior to Google's IMO and I can never make it work)
- thebrokencube 14y agoYea I mean, I feel like when people say "google it", they're conveying that you should search the internet/research about it, not necessarily use Google for it.
- batista 14y agoWell, "Googling it" could also mean a programmers that copy/pastes codes from various sources found on the internet when faced with a problem, instead of trying to understand the problem domain.
- thebrokencube 14y agoI never really thought of it that way, but I guess in that context it makes sense why that's frowned upon.
