  Learning the proper way to do things has nothing to do with being smart. I don’t think I’m smarter than my peers, I just have a longer attention span (thanks adderall!)

    Yeah I don’t buy it. I don’t think I’ve ever once used documentation so good I didn’t need to use a search engine at some point. Kind of odd you pretend you never use one lol… You and all the downvoters seem to have some kind of strange complex where you need to feel superior

      I don’t get how you could think that’s what I meant. Every person with an internet connection uses a search engine. I use search engines to find relevant documentation. I assumed that went without saying.

        You say you use documentation only. You obviously use stack overflow or other forums too, like the rest of us. But keep on pretending

  This comment says a hell of a lot more about you than the other person here.

    The fact that you people pretend to only use documentation like some elitist boyscouts actually does say something about you.

    I don’t believe you, you’re lying, you just want to seem smart. I don’t give a flying fuck if random Internet people think I’m smart or whatever the hell else you’re suggesting. Just flat don’t care. I know there is nothing wrong with using search engines and stack overflow and that we all do it. Pretty weird you all pretend otherwise. Kind of sad really that your ego requires this of you.
