A long time ago I gave up the "manager track" and went back to be an individual contributor mostly because i noticed I was having to look up things I "ought" to have known Slowly now I am settling into the idea (the confidence) that I am actually pretty good at this, and that occasionally looking up how to open a csv file is just an artifact of knowing why and what if not precisely how (it's also a good indication that another abstraction that is easier to remember might be useful)
