FTFY.

On behalf of the entire developer community, I thank Google for all the assistance provided. I hope it continues to grow and prosper .. :)

Google has indeed made the web easier to access, with the main side effect IMO of making it easier for technically clueless people to take on programming work, and students to cheat on their homework. I sure as hell hope their dreams of global domination do not come true.

A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

Ooops .. even the most technically sound people do search stuff across the net using Google. I would say, Google has eased the learning curve for every developer. I strongly believe everyone on this forum has used Google at some point of time in his career to find stuff quickly!

I found CP by entering a programming question in Google -- almost any programming question you Google returns CP pages in the result. That may mean that the clueless can find their way here, but it also means that those who do know what they're doing can get what they need from here, too.
I'll see your roundabout, and raise you two swings.

Not as much, because we tend to try to help in ways that require people to think and learn. Google tends towards copying and pasting code you don't understand.

That's true. The difference is, we understand what we read. The people who don't understand it at all, still manage to find hte codez nowadays, with google.

True - the point is that the clueless are able to churn out something that appears to work, nowadays, b/c of google mostly.

I admire your sense of humor bro. I would like to know only one thing, before opening CP for the first time, how did you have an idea about the conent present in the site/page ?!?! Whether you accept or not, everyone is clueless (with clueless I mean naïve/beginner) for the first time.

That's true. The difference is, we understand what we read. The people who don't understand it at all, still manage to find hte codez nowadays, with google.

No mate, I disagree, even if you are able to search something on the net using Google, still you need elementary understanding of the technology and programming concepts to apply it. I don't believe that people are simply downloading the stuff from net and directly pasting it all over without knowing a bit of it.

What I meant is, that there will always be people who will mis- or even abuse any service they can get their hands on. But this does not reduce the value of the service.

Very true. I've also heard the same sentiment expressed as: "There are no difficult problems. There are only easy problems I don't yet know how to solve." and "Everything is difficult until you know how to do it."

You need to follow programming forums a bit more :)
