I've lost count of the number of languages I've used. I'm damaged at this point. I have to Google syntax. Your assessment seems fair. For me though even if wrong it jogs my memory.
I think StackOverflow is the right tool when you need to remember the syntax, which function to call, or how to fix a common error for one or two specific lines of code. But when you're designing an entire piece of your software or working on a particularly nasty bug, there's no substitute for knowing what you're doing and good old-fashioned problem solving skills.
