Search-driven Development

I listened to a podcast, the Corercusive episode on birth of Unix with Brian Kirnighan. An interesting point was that software development today often 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 start valuing more the software that does not require that, where you can read the manual and then understand how to use the programming language.
