There’s a lot of people commenting and supporting the author of the article and in his practice of googling and how normalized that is.

This leads me to a hypothesis. I would argue a large percentage of software developers are average, the bell curve for extremely brilliant engineers and extremely idiotic engineers must be be low for each end.

So what is considered average work?

I would working on mundane issues which involves a lot of googling. It would also reason that if you are googling a lot you aren’t doing anything that’s breakthrough or exciting since if the rate of your googling is high that would indicate that the problem you are solving is quite common.

There is a large difference between building things with React and learning how React works and trying to create your own.

I’m not sure why the “re-inventing the wheel” I dread the day we stop innovating and resign our career lives to “well someone else solved this problem so it must be the best solution - no need for me to innovate.”
