For me It will be like this when coding to solve a problem:

  1. Write the prob on a whiteboard near my desk.
  2. If there are any UI components drawing them and looking for appropriate on Google
  3. Doing the solid algo in thinking
  4. The moment i'm stuck somewhere i head to Google and find the API
  5. When i'm done coding, I'd also optimize for better time/space complexity for the same, if i feel i'm doing a obvious mistake, yes i'd Google
  6. Raise a code review, reviewer suggests some comments.
  7. Again Google/talk to reviewer why like that and why not my way?

So in the entire journey i used Google 4 times. That is more, but it keeps my productivity levels high. If Google is not there i'd look up to JDK JavaDoc, some offiline HTML help, talk to a senior.

Cheers!
