If all we do is hand out "answers" to all the questions, we're not doing our jobs. As experienced software engineers, we are obligated to teach those who have less experience HOW to do things. By just giving the answers, we're not teaching them. If we teach you HOW to get the answer then you have gained knowledge that will allow you to take on new technology.
As software engineers, we are often on the "bleeding edge" of technology. In many instances I have been working on technology that no one else (or very few) has been working on. That means there was no one to ask questions to. If all that my senior-level workers in the past had done is just give me the answers I never would have been able to develop the software that my company required. However, since I was taught HOW to learn I was able to successfully complete the task. If we direct the questions such as this to Google, then they are learning how to research. Of course, that should have been taught to them in college, but obviously their college was more interested in their tuition money than in teaching them. ...Glenn On Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 12:33 AM, santhosh vs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
