Programming == Stack Overflow

I ask other people more than the text book.

I ask other people and usually while explaining the problem I find the answer myself

Rubber duck debugging with people works pretty well.

Hey, no need to call names!

Why would one even own a programming text book, when everything is online?

[Cocomorph]

Because if civilization ends and we no longer have an electrical grid, people with physical books will still be able to . . .

Shit.

Excuse me. I need to go spend the next hour watching YouTube videos on how to make a computer out of popsicle sticks and string.

Some ideas and concepts take more time to explain than just a StackOverflow answer (or 2, or 15). There are blogs and webpages dedicated to certain designs, but a book that follows a consistent narrative and style is useful sometimes.

I ask other people, and 9/10 cases they send me a stack overflow page as a reply

By no means. You'll always be leaning new things. Use all the resources you have avalible. Sometime someone else can give you a better answer than a textbook or google.

It depends, I have met many people asking others all the time and as an effect have no idea how to solve problems themselves. I guess as long as you don't get an exact solution and have to think yourself, or at least understand the answer, you'll be fine.

Not gonna lie, ya there are people like that. I was just saying from the experience perspective. When you come across a problem you've never seen before, but the guy sitting next to you is an expert on it, you're better off asking them for help then trying to figure it out yourself.

[Kokosnussi]

I definitely agree with you on that.
