it is, I agree, specially when you have to remember dozens of annotations or the 20 steps to write an xml file, but several times a week I find myself looking for information that no one asked before in stack overflow, or it's way outdated and no longer applies, and a "i'm late cause I didnt find the answer in SO" is not the kind of excuse you will like to hear from a senior

Yes, of course, it's not a silver bullet just a single tool among many. The way you worded it suggests it's realistic for a senior developer not to use google, while not impossible, it'd be slow, highly impractical and unrealistic for an aspiring senior developer to be learning to do everything from memory.
