Google Is My Coding Tutor

My spouse (an artist, not in tech), working her way through a C++ class (part of Digital Arts curriculum). I: Let me know if you need help She: Will do <2 hrs later> I: How’s it going? She: Fine. I’m cheating I: ??? She: I google for stuff I don’t know Do I tell her?

A person offers to help their artist spouse with a C++ class, but later discovers that she considers searching Google for answers to be “cheating.” The joke is about the humorous mismatch between asking for help and independently looking up unfamiliar programming concepts, shared as a relatable reaction to overthinking what counts as cheating.
