Same here. It does not preclude creating high quality products though. I learn / fish out of my memory features on on need basis. Due to writing software for the last 40 years I have very good understanding what should be available and where but remember everything in multiple languages in detail is pure insanity. And in my opinion that knowledge is not what defines being good programmer.
- thrasumachos 5y agoThe thing I find almost impossible to store in my own memory is which C++ version a feature was added in, so when working on a C++14 codebase, I write class template parameter deduction dependent code and then have to check CPP Reference to see why I was wrong. I agree that memorizing gobs of this stuff isn’t important.
- pjmlp 5y agoSame here, but also applies to other languages as well, sigh.
