How is rote memorization of the arguments the stdlib of a language the difference between a beginner and an expert? I forget those kinds of things all the time, even for the language I use 99% of the time.
- userbinator 5y agoHow is rote memorization of the positions of the keys on a keyboard the difference between a beginner and an expert? Or for that matter, the spelling of words and their meaning in your choice of (human) language. We call those who can't do the latter "illiterate". Imagine if you had to look up almost every word you speak or write in a dictionary.
- rhinoceraptor 5y agoBeing able to touch type makes you a good typist, and being good at spelling makes you good at spelling. Those two don't make you a good programmer or writer.
