    Similar to how a software developer likely knows how to set up a printer (or at least more likely than the average Joe) even though it’s absolutely not their job.

    We don’t know how to setup a printer. We know how to google how to setup a printer. Big difference.

      I mean, googling how to set up a printer is step 1 to setting up a printer.

      Compared to 90% of people, you’re ahead of the curve.

      Being able to look something up is a skill.

      There was a very brief window of time where we had very powerful tools that, to some of us, made that task very easy. That time I think is passing.
