Search-Driven Development

I listened to a podcast recently, the Corercusive episode on the birth of Unix with Brian Kirnighan. An interesting point made during the talk was that software development today is more about looking up information rather than building something with your own intuition. You search the answer for each query, a.k.a. stackoverflow-driven development.

I have started valuing more the software that does not require that, where you can read the manual and then understand how to use the programming language.
