All the time. Many times per day. I've been programming for fifteen years, and I think my willingness to Google things has only gone up over that time. There are a lot more things that I know off the top of my head now than when I started, but I've got way less tolerance for wasting time trying to figure out weird problems when there's already an answer online.
- hitchhiker999 11y ago15+ years here too, I have exactly the same situation. 90% of the things I worked on years ago, I wouldn't bother with now; I would just google. There's only so many times you can make a library to handle 'common stuff' :) Even though Google didn't exist back in 'the day', I would say I look up stuff more and more as time goes on - I always take a look at what's out there before making a decision to get coding. As cliched as it is: The greater your experience, the more you know how little you know. OT: Interestingly I just came across my first 'expert sex change .com' link in years a few days ago.. for some ugly and stupid legacy server error, naturally I swore at the site again, and told my colleagues about how much we 'hated on that' in the day.
