I see a lot of people worried that they're doing something wrong because they need to use Google when trying to solve some game dev or programming problem.
My simple answer: Google is a great tool and using it is a perfectly natural part of the process! Don't worry about it.
Especially if you're googling just because you don't remember the syntax, that is more than perfectly fine. As a programmer your task is to solve problems, not to memorize syntax. Personally I use google a lot, especially when working on something that is on the bleeding edge (like Unity DOTS) or another language (like PHP).
The only thing you need to be cautious when using google is simply make sure you're NOT just blindly copy pasting code. If you do that then yes you're not using google properly, you're not learning anything, and it's only a matter of time until something breaks and you cannot solve it because you don't understand how it works.
In essence google is just another tool, when used properly it is a great tool, when used badly it yields bad results.
So yup absolutely use google to look for answers for any questions you have, but when you find a solution or answer make sure you spend time understanding WHY it works. That way you actually gain knowledge and the next time you come across that same problem you won't have issues solving it yourself.
Best of luck!
