Flip the question. Am I being a good developer if I'm not Googling it?

You are a creative problem solver. You have to understand your problem and put together a solution. Within defined constraints of time, budget, and quality, you must solve your problem.

Solid understanding of good developer practices and general algorithm or application design principles marries WELL with talent in processing information from the web. Bringing them together, you get past "solved" challenges in completing your current task or project done.

I'd argue that being adequate at both is better. Relying too much on either facet is worse than being good at both with a talent for bringing the two together.
