You know you have become a true Software Engineer, when you google something and it leads to a stackoverflow question that you yourself asked 4 years ago.

[realquincyhill]

As a 20x developer I don’t even memorize specific tips on googling for information and instead reference this video when ever I need to.

"Software engineer is a professional google searcher"

Title should be "How to master any programing language in 4 mins"

"...who is brave enough to post on stackoverflow..." 😂😂😂 I died from laughing.

One of my job interviews was quite literally
"What do you do if you can't solve something?"
"... you mean, without googling it?"
"You're hired."

10x devs don’t google”how to format a date in javascript”, they Google ”format date js”

This is the most useful tutorial in the world!

Hey Jeff, I just want to say thank you. Your videos are one of the many reasons that have made me to pursue a career as a developer. And thanks to you and your video on the react hooks, I just recently landed a job as a Web Developer.

Please keep up the good work!

"Developers have been googling the same error message for hundreds of years” had me spit the water.

Spelling edit thanks to @Innocent

[PenguinjitsuX]

this is probably the best video about googling in general, not just for software engineers!

[zeroblackstar]

This is by far the most valuable mini course that all developers should take.

0:39 legit everyone has searched this At least once in their software developer career

Played at 2x to become a 20x developer. But really, great content thanks for being awesome Fireship!

[abrarfahim]

Your videos are always so informative yet so short. Your care so much of our time, always come to the point without wasting time on unnecessary stuffs. That's the best part of you. Keep doing the good work.

I never even thought of looking up how to optimize googling for code. Seeing this video makes me so happy!

[peterleeh]

Oh yes, how many times I've felt in a job interview that even though I don't know the answer to the trivia question they asked, but it would take literally 15 seconds to Google it..

[oncedidactic]

This is massively helpful, love getting these tips sprinkled in. Always something new to learn!
