I'm not sure...
I consider good google fu as the basic skill for a dev, or someone who wants to be a dev. -
SnafuAI6848yYes, of course they are. Real developers are able to go into a state of trance and transcend the barriers of time and space, thus finding all needed knowledge.

No, they are not impostors... Nobody is knowledgeable in all things.
That being said, there is a decent amount of inherent knowledge needed to be a good dev or administrator -
Well, tell me, if we just assume for a moment, as ridiculous as the idea is, that you aren't able to just telepathically absorb all knowledge in existence, and that commonly APIs aren't build in a way that you can deduce their exact functionality through pure logic and math, how would you do something new? Yeah.
So of course googling devs are imposters, everyone knows a true dev is a telepathic knowledge sponge.
