I compltely agree although it is worth mentioning that rather than memorizing the function or snippet its understanding the why behind it.
That way you can apply your newly acquired knowledge to anything else.
Controversial opinion:
The best way to teach somebody not to memorise what they can google is to ask them to write a non-trivial regex.
Yes, even something like a valid phone number with country extension is a regex pattern that every developers google, copy + paste. Unless you’re doing it for fun / learning. Nobody with a job to do has time to expend mental effort on that instead of stackoverflowing it.
Honestly you said the right thing
I used to think I needed to know everything and code without help but it restricted me from achieving anything!
The moment I told myself I would always Google and make Google search my very good friend
I built my first official data app with streamlit 👌🏽
Google search is my friend my very good friend 😁
Now I am more creative and even happier since I stopped trying to know everything but just Google everything
Google I love you ❤🫂
Yeah, Google can honestly be like your second brain when you use it right!
👌🏽 yup
I didn't create doors and I'm sure I understand how a door works.

I think it's how one uses Google. If you've been developing for a while, it makes sense because you know what you're looking for; it's also an easy transition to a new language. On the other hand, a newbie may try to build a website with Google and get frustrated finding all kinds of technologies or the website is slow by throwing in unnecessary stuff. So as a senior developer, you can look at a piece of code and think about tradeoffs. Can it optimise or slow my code?
Second, look through language or framework documentation before consulting Google. That's my take, but in consideration that our intelligence is different, yes, do what gives the best result quickly and Google wins.
You're right! Understanding the process and logic is the key here!
Any suggestions when my teacher wants from me to memorize maven dependencies with their specific version :/
Yes, but not just google. Learn to use the Javadocs.
