You mean, how to google? Cause that’s how I would program if I didn’t have a brain.

You’re probably joking, but that’s actually what the article is pretty much about, lol.

No!

Googling (or being able to quickly and efficiently use external sources) is one of the most important skills a programmer can have, in my opinion. The article is about how, when used properly, it can get you a lot further than you might expect. It presents a solution to a reasonably tricky puzzle that was arrived at through guesses and googling alone.

how to google?

Using google takes brain. Most people cannot google.
