this is only a partial aspect of the issue.

it's true that in the current "move fast break everything" climate developer knowledge expires at an alarming rate and everything needs to be rechecked constantly trough internet sources to fix integration issues between ever changing libraries

it's also true that searching sources without a solid knowledge base derived from theory and practice quickly devolves into cargo-cult programming.

I too sometimes feel like my skill differential often comes only from being very fast at googling stuff, however this is a gross oversimplification on what happens after the specific knowledge piece is acquired: whether the solution is taken to solve the problem at hand or if it results in a change in one own understanding of the problem domain makes all the difference.
