Comment on A 14-year-old could build 1998's Google using her Dad's credit card

Comments

This post seems to miss the point that the major hurdle faced by a 14-year old trying to learn how to program and find the right libraries etc. to use is solved by Google itself.

enkiOP

good point! google definitely is part of what makes us so much more productive programmers today! (despite google codesearch going away)

Im going to go off topic here and mention http://searchco.de/ which does try to replace the outgoing Google Codesearch.

Obligatory StackOverflow Reference

Redundant explanation that Google has itself been surpassed by $Site as a resource for programmers.

I'd wager SO's main source of traffic is Google

Since he has already written about it (88%), I don't think many people will take that wager :D
