I'm sorry if this is a stupid question... but what's wrong with "googling it"? I can see the flipside to most of the points made, but I don't understand this one.
As much as I don't like google, I must say that I find google to be a programmers best friend (you google for it and find the stackoverflow questions you were looking for. SO's search is much inferior to Google's IMO and I can never make it work)
Yea I mean, I feel like when people say "google it", they're conveying that you should search the internet/research about it, not necessarily use Google for it.
Well, "Googling it" could also mean a programmers that copy/pastes codes from various sources found on the internet when faced with a problem, instead of trying to understand the problem domain.
