CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — A recent incident at Adena Health System has intensified scrutiny of its cardiology department. A 65-year-old woman died during what should have been a routine heart catheterization, leading to pressing questions about the practices and credentials of the physicians involved. What happened after her time of death is concerning.

This. Knowledgeable professionals "google" things all the time.

If you need an unusual procedure, would you prefer your surgeon googled it to find a video of some prof explaining it, or a surgeon that just tries to remember.

As a programmer, I have made a career from being one step ahead, thanks to Google. I don’t bother with formal training courses anymore, when a quick skim of Google gives me what I need much quicker. Text books? I have not bought one in decades.

Tears for your career when someday you search some obscure code in a language you don't regularly use and it comes back with only ads for a paid sub for a high powered coding AI.

Or when your employer is sued by stack exchange after a code audit because their TOS says they own the copyright on all user submitted code and their whole business model is get everyone used to using it and go after businesses for copyright violation because programmers copy paste code blurbs.

The number of code snippets that can be copied and pasted and fit your use-case exactly is almost 0. The number of those code snippets that are well written and would survive code review is even smaller. Stack overflow is good for getting an idea of what libraries exist. Good programmers use it for inspiration and move on to official docs from there (assuming they exist).

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

There's usually other non-stack exchange resources that pop up in searches so I'll just scroll on to those.

And that copy pasting can include changing variable names to match yours while still violating copyright. And I agree that good programmers don't even do that, but there's a lot of not so good programmers out there.

That doesn't excuse a copyright violation.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 months ago

Code snippets on Stack Overflow aren't copyrighted in the first place.

[–] Redscare867@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

My point is looking at stack overflow to see what libraries are available is not copyright violation.

I have made a career from being one step ahead, thanks to Google.

I'm speechless. Just surprised someone would actually say that.

I am the same way. Taught myself c#,Unity, Blender, Gimp, Audacity and more and made a top rated VR app in a 3 year period. Now I still the these resources, plus several AI’s. Love how accessible information and knowledge is becoming.

or a surgeon that just tries to remember.

Especially since medical science has almost certainly advanced since their days in medical school, and it's absolutely impossible to keep up with all the new discoveries, medications and procedures.
