Somebody told me a story once about how they went to a doctor in Sweden. They told him their symptoms and the dude started googling them.

My doc is also googling stuff very often.

Probably not bad. If I could have memorized the entire dotnet framework documentation, I would. Until then I will keep googling, and I will usually recognize if the solution is sound. Probably the same with doctors and health.

Agreed, I’m simply pointing out that the comic makes it seem like programming is something you can always just Google the answers for, instead of a skill that requires honing and a basal foundation, similar to medical science or law.

I would love to have a doc who googles instead of just trying to sound smart based on their limited knowledge

You try memorising every known disease and alment in history.

And you try memorizing every Python library

[–] riskable@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

It takes a while to get through the entire standard library but PyMOTW makes it fun and keeps things interesting 👍

(Yes, I've read every single one and if I can do it you can too)

Happened to me once so I guess it's not as weird as I thought.
