Did the first few commenters not read the article at all? It’s literally about how Doctors look up information all the time. This makes perfect sense because not only is there so much information to remember best practices and other information change all the time.
In programmers avoiding looking up references is far more an ego driven ascetic approach than it is anything practical. Same with eschewing modern tooling.

- meheleventyone 5y agoThat's fine in itself, particularly as these threads get longer. I was just super confused that everyone assumed the opposite to what is actually true and patently clear after a cursory read of the article. I don't think those comments were actually about conversation or ultimately very curious or intelligent which is what HN is supposed to be about.
