Not being cynical for a change - I almost shed a tear of this and it's implication not only to Computer Science but anything else that can be gotten through without ever learning anything. Perhaps humanity has always been primarily a colony of drones - but I'd like to think better of it.

The trouble is that I don't think he's joking. :sigh:

I've been programming for many years and when I have a question or can't remember a certain syntax, I don't have to refer to books anymore. I use the internet. Nothing wrong with that.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I've been programming for many decades and when I started MS hadn't even developed IntelliSense and there was no internet so we used MSDN on CD. But I fear I'm straying from the point, I don't think looking up syntax is quite the kind of help we're talking about here ;)

That's not how I read it. SO and CP are incredible resources of knowledge. If someone uses those resources to help them learn, and to get them through the bits they have trouble understanding, then I say: Job Well Done! So I see it as saying "SO was like a mentor to me". I would hope that there are people who feel the same about CP.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
