I did code before Google, and I was fine. Yes, it's really convenient, and LLM would be even more convenient if I could trust it just a little bit more, but it's quite possible to do some effective software development without Google.

In 8th grade, I had a little PHP 4 pocket reference book. In classes I didn’t care about, I would have this open inside the book for that class and I would write code for my forums on loose leaf (in a shorthand). I also had printed copies of Mercury Board source code to refer to in the back of my binder. Then I’d get home later, type it in, debug a bit, and have new features :) It’s an entirely alien analog process to modern students, I’m sure, but it was really effective!
