Do you usually use google to answer their coding problems since websites like Stackoverflow exist where you can usually find any coding solution/templates?

Emilymae, This is a great question, I like to think about Google as a starting point for answering questions all kinds of questions. Knowing there are other options that can provide more direct solutions and even templates is also a great approach, I find its best to work smarter not harder. Utilize your resources, we are not alone in this world to solve problems. I will say, when I am hiring developers, I always like to ask them if you do not know how to code something whether it be a complex problem or something new, what would you do? I generally have to explain it is not a trick question. Google is your friend! The places where code snipets or templates are is constantly changing, build a network of other people, you don't always have to know the answer, just who/where to go to get the answers.

Hi Emilymae, I as a current student can tell you that stackoverflow is a great tool to find lots of spacing and code concepts, however it doesn't exactly translate over to many labs or homework assignments. You will still need to understand and do your own coding in order for things to run properly. I like to think of it as visual notes that help you grasp concepts that maybe the class doesn't provide, but not directly doing copy and paste and run.

Hi Emilymae,
To my mind as programmers we must always remember that the simplest, most frequent, most common problems have many solutions and they are already written if we talk about common programming languages. If there is problem I first of all ask my colleagues if they have ever encountered it, then I can search on specialized resources such as Stackoverflow. Nevertheless, everything that concerns business logic, subject field or issues specific to your company cannot be written by anyone but your company.

If I'm trying to find the answer to a programming question, I usually start with a Google search that will cover all websites including StackOverflow, GitHub, and any other relevant programming blogs or resources. If I'm unable to find a valid solution for my problem, I would ask a question on one of the following websites:
- If the question is about the usage of a particular library or dependency, I would ask the question on the relevant GitHub repository website or Slack channel.
- If the question is more generic in nature, I would ask the question on StackOverflow.
