This has been the opposite of my experience. Earlier in my career there was a lot more "sit and think about how to assemble these basic building blocks." Now it's a lot more "man, it would be nice if complex object A could play well with complex object B, I wonder how to make that work and what the pitfalls are." I'm googling different things than I used to, sure, but pretty much any task I'm tackling at this point involves a fair amount of googling for docs, github issues, stack overflow, etc.
