I'm curious what kind of programming job you could have where you look up stuff less than 10 times a day.

If much of your development is spent on implementing business logic in a language you are familiar with, and you have a decent IDE, I don't know what you use stackoverflow for at that frequency. Occasionally you may need to consult stackoverflow for a specific issue in string manipulation or API usage, but that's not something you run into a lot.

I rarely ever need to use SO on a daily basis. I've been programming on the .NET ecosystem for a while now and usually if I need anything I just directly go to the docs.

I used SO a lot when I was a junior engineer. Most of my issues now stem from biz logic or internal design that really can't be googled for.

Something they are actually competent doing, I suppose.

That seems needlessly harsh.

But, generally, yes, I tend to know the details of what I'm doing already. If anything I might check some API docs for a library.
