If you're starting out in programming, sysadmin, or DevOps, don't feel bad if you're constantly Googling the basics.
Even seasoned pros like myself, with years under our belts, turn to Google every single day for the simplest things.
The human mind is great, but it forgets many things. It's basic human nature. So, don't feel bad about such stuff :)

@nixCraft It's also motivating to remember that this applies to other professions too. Doctors don't remember everything off the top of their heads, but they know what to look for and know how to make the correct conclusions.
Workers using tools don't make them less proficient workers.

@rustickey true. saw my doctor googling the medicine name that was prescribed by the old doctor and then logged into some sort of pro portal to check for medicine interaction. i giggled and moved on. lol.

@nixCraft to this day, every bash script I write starts with the Google prompt: "shebang bin bash"

@nixCraft just wish I could Google during job interviews

@nixCraft Also, even if you remember it doesn't hurt (if there's time) to find out if things have changed. There might be an update or a better solution since you last needed to do it.

@nixCraft Reading man(1) pages is a base-line sysadmin skill.
