It's cool that you're successful and all...
But abduct has a pretty obvious to see point even if his approach is a little abrasive. Why would you encourage people to just "google the answer" in lieu of a proper education?
It's not even the math. His math example is unlikely to be needed in your average software development role. However google can't and won't teach you problem solving techniques, and copy pasting code from stack overflow does not teach you anything and makes you dispensable to any company that's worth anything.
I have never once copy and pasted code from stackoverflow and I actually never used it because the information was so inaccurate the forums I used they actually refused to supply people with answers and would only direct them down the right path
I was taught by microsoft MVPs for free
I am not saying that Google education is for everyone, but if you are intelligent and can teach yourself, its the best way to go.
Abduct assumes Im just some idiot who copy pastad my way through life, but thats not the case.
College won't teach you problem solving techniques either, and please define a proper education, because it seems you are implying that college is the proper way, but most people who go to college never get a job and have wasted 4 years of their life and their credit.
See, the problem here is that 97% of the world is below average intelligence, so that means 97% of you would be too stupid to teach yourself with Google
Thats why its so hard for you to relate.
I understand that this comment will anger a lot of people, but thats life, the stupid always are angry with the smart because they cant comprehend things the same. This is a proven fact, stupid follow stupid and kill the smart. Thats why people burned witches on crosses. Because witches knew medicine and stupid people were scared of it. That is also why religion is so powerful because 97% of the world is dumb enough to believe it.
