It is good engineering to not reinvent the wheel. Finding out how others solved the same problem is common in science with peer reviews of findings.
When I search, I look at multiple posts, make sure I understand them, then derive my own value-added code from what I have learned. "Copy and paste" generally makes for buggy code.
For the experienced developer, searching Google or Bing for code that solves a problem is not a "copy and paste" process, but an accelerated process of learning and applying what was learned to one's own code.
A developer that does not look at how other developers approach a given problem is not one I would hire. They will not learn as well, are likely too prideful, and produce mostly mediocre work.

Bing maps api returns the correct data. Goodbye, google maps api.
Semi-related note - Win7 install is almost done. I was at it for 6.5 hours and got almost everything reinstalled. Most of the time was spent suffering through the inevitable "updates from hell" cycle. VS2013 works like it always has, once again.

Now once you are done re-installing make a backup image for the next time

btw, thanks for mentioning the Bing maps api, they have some nice features that might help us in a current project

What's really funny is that I already had a basic key for Bing. Silver linings.

If you have both Bong and Giggles sketched out, why not include an option to use either or? That way, when Bing goes bong, you can try Giggles.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

If you don't laugh, this stuff will drive you crazy.

Nothing better than taking part in 'onboarding' ceremonies. With an earlier employer these ceremonies bordered on waterboarding. The freshlings quickly found themselves being 'baptized' in the fire fighter's water reservoir.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

The perfect Dry Martini is 3 parts Gin and a gentle nod in the direction of France.

But is it Gordons or Beefeaters?
Or do you prefer to drink a Juniper bush run through a chipper? (Hernö Gin[^])
