This seems like a controversial topic. Some people seem to think that if you don't know something code specific without Googling than you're something like a Duct tape programmer (although I may be stretching the term away from what Joel talks about http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2009/09/23.html). Being a college student it's interesting to see articles like this, that I agree with, and then hearing from my professors "anyone can google you can never be a good _computer scientist_ if that's all you do!"


You can't be a good computer scientist if all you do is search for solutions using Google, but you can be a pretty good product shipper.
