Do you use cheat sheets?

Question

Web development

Actually, the question arose, how often do experienced programmers turn to search engines during real development? By search engine, I mean not only to find a ready-made solution to the problem, but, for example, to google this or that method in js, etc. And how bad is it if a developer often uses cheat sheets and is it bad at all?

Answer 1

I can’t answer for experienced programmers, because I don’t belong to them, but I strongly doubt that there is at least one among them who fully knows the standard library of his language, not to mention third-party ones.

Answer 2

It's good more than bad

Answer 3

All specialists always use the add. sources of information. The opposite - casts doubt on his professional suitability. Beginners (students, for example) also suffer from this, being in the length competition mode, you yourself understand what :)

Answer 4

it ’s
not possible to know everything, it
’s just that some things need to be analyzed well once so that later the spinal cord can understand how it works,
and some things are used so often that they go to the reflex or muscle memory section
for everything else there are docks, specifications, books, internet, google etc.
, at a normal interview, they will still look at how much your "spinal cord" is pumped and not how many arguments of the ps command you can remember from memory,
you also need to understand what level of programmer we are talking about
if it is jun - then, as it were, "what were you waiting for?"
if a person is a happy owner of the title of principal automation qa engineer and at the same time complains that "IDEA does not want to run the xml file" - it will look, you see, strange,
so this is all very subjective

Answer 5

a bunch of full-stack coders who do everything from configuring nginx, backend, to building a js build.
for example, I don’t use Google, I write code in php, and I also use IDEs .. but css, html (yes, yes, don’t laugh), js frameworks, assemblers, babels, preprocessors, sometimes I look at best practices in sql, redis
. .and what's wrong with that?

Answer 6

In most cases, these "cheat sheets" are built into the IDE. Compared to them, it is in Google that you have to look not so often.
