Is this the new “you need to know this math because you won’t have a calculator with you everywhere you go?”
I can at least agree with the last line.
Don’t use google.
Nah, use Kagi.
I agree. Bard is way better for this purpose
Use stackoverflow directly.
Ask the question on Lemmy!
A meme programming language would be cool. I can’t find one in this list:

Oh, most of my CAD workdays are filled with Google searches.
Programmers when GitHub and stackoverflow:
Im full time IT, a huge chunk of my job was learned through google. My current position looked incredibly different before we had phones and could research everything on the fly. I feel bad for tech’s who didn’t have access to research tools like we do now.
I work in controls and I couldn’t imagine how life was working with allen bradley stuff pre internet. there’s a manual for everything
Well, for once it was far smaller code base and significantly simpler. Better optimized though since hardware was very limited. Middleware nightmare we are currently living in is no joke. Soon we’ll have to have search engine locally indexing stuff because code grew so big. People just include everything without thinking. Yea sure pull entire web browser for your note taking app because they were too lazy to learn few calls to UI library.
Oh sure yeah let me just start fact checking by subscribing to every kind of scientific journal, calling up various libraries and universities to check relevant studies, and ask lawyers and legislators every single time somebody says something questionable or puts something misleading on a label instead of using a search engine.
I went to work in IT over half a decade ago without relevant credentials. Google taught me everything.
If only I could sign in to the damn system.
Just don’t google google. No laughing matter. You could break the internet.
I did that twice today by accident. I’m sorry 🥹
That explains why it was so slow.
Your teacher was at least right about not using Google. Use literally whatever else
Java, apparently 😂
Searching does help, but hey, you have to know what to search for and then how to apply the findings.
But what do you do if you have to fix ‘the internet’?!
You search for it on your phone over mobile internet.
Or climb the Elizabeth tower to see if the little red led is still blinking.
teachers dont say that

“When will you ever walk around with a calculator in your pockets!?”
My teacher dead ass said that to me when I was 9 and had a Casio wrist watch with a calculator on it.
As a millenial, this is the most zoomer sentence I’ve ever read
On God Fr fr?
No cap
I like your funny words magic man
Watches with calculator functionality have existed since 1970 so… Nothing millennial or zoomer about it. It’s firmly in boomer territory.
Ngl fr fr
Oh damn, my man got style.
Googling does become a hell of a lot easier if you know what the concept you’re looking for is called.
I find myself going to ChatGPT for this stuff now.
“I’m trying to do something like [concept]. What is that called and can you give me an example”
Usually I get my results faster and easier than Google.
be careful using it as your only source of truth, even more so when you don’t know what you’re searching for exactly
You can ask it for source now with browser integration. Previously the browser extension was a separate model with gpt3.5 which was pretty bad, now it’s just integrated into gp4. It works a million times better and it’s great that it doesn’t break the flow of the conversation.
You can say the same for Google
If it spits out the wrong syntax my compiler will tell me immediately.
While I never had it happen, it could give you wrong command line switches that do damage. For example, when I asked how I could list volumes attached to an AWS instance, it gave me a “modify-volume” command instead of “describe-volume” command. Thankfully, I caught that before I cut and paste it.
had a similar problem searching for gcloud commands
Oh yes. With that sort of thing better double check each time.
It’s bad enough at programming that you can often see the problems without the help of the compiler
Last thing I asked it for, after the fourth draft still had undeclared variables and called imaginary libraries (which if they existed would be great)
It was good for coming up with a nice structure for a small program
I had an emailed a question that I didn’t really know where to go with, so I asked Copilot to answer the email factually. Sent that email with a note of ai origin, but it was close enough and got us into right track
Only a shit teacher, would say this!
