There was an HN poster a few months ago who claimed that memorizing the Python standard library made him much more productive.
- devnonymous 5y agoWell, to be fair, they do recommend that you "keep this under your pillow" [1] [1] https://docs.python.org/3/ https://docs.python.org/3/

- rolisz 5y agoI'm one of those people. I haven't memorized all of the Python standard library, but whenever I run into things that I need to do on a monthly frequency (which is not enough to remember things just by using them), I add them to my Anki deck.
