I took it more as a (very common among coders) joke about how writing code is actually just googling and copying code from Stackoverflow. (Of course it's exaggerated, which is part of why it's, while not completely true, funny.)
Exactly. Me not knowing the language perfectly isn’t the same as me not knowing how to program.
It’s not really any different than looking up the spelling of the word, except in this case a misspelling makes the code inoperative so accuracy is important.
It's true in a lot of fields. TS Eliot (probably) once said "Good writers borrow, great writers steal."
