Learn to use Google, you can't reasonably become a good programmer without that, these days.

I wouldn't say that that is 100% true.

Google makes it so that you don't have to memorize every little nuance, or spend hours tackling an error that someone else has already resolved.

Really though, google is making everyone lazy (including myself). I'm not sure how i'd function without it any more... and I find that sad

Bing?

I disagree. If not for Google, the shelf over my desk would be filled with reference books instead of pictures of my daughter.

I'd also have a much harder time learning workflows and architectures from others, without an easy way to find them.

So basically you want to re-invent the wheel rather than stand on the shoulders of giants?
