This is what I do as well, I don't understand why programmers try so hard to avoid ever taking notes (or reading a manual). It's somehow too boring for programmers to work in a structured way, they want to pretend that their job is like playing a video game. I don't understand what the problem is of looking something up, and why is it so "bad" to read a little syntax before you get started, especially if it gives you better solutions. Imagine having this attitude towards tools in general, you'd throw out most of everything. Anything that's powerful has a learning curve
