Am I dependent on SO? If it went away I would panic then be sad, but I would still be able to get on with my job.
I expect the first result to a query I might have to be a good answer on a Stack Exchange site, usually Stack Overflow. But I also use other resources relevant to whatever my query is. I was a professional developer before SO, so I know how to find what I need.
I think I might have a search engine dependency, though. I would be lost without the ability to put my problem into a search engine and be shown a list of possible solutions.
I started to learn programming before there were web based search engines, but all reference material is online now, and I don't have space for the myriad books I would need. So if Stack Overflow went away I'd cope, but if an easily searchable web went away, I'd be ruined!
