I'm like this. I've been paid to write code in perhaps ten to twelve languages over a twenty-two year career but if you put me in front of a blank notepad.exe and told me to solve fizzbuzz in any language I chose, I'd struggle to complete it in any of them without made-up function names or incorrect syntax or something. I constantly crib from surrounding code, and google the basics, copy-paste a starter block, or rely more than usual on autocomplete when starting from scratch. I'm entirely sure I convinced one interviewer I was one of those much-feared "fakers" when I used the wrong method invocation syntax in a language I'd worked in for years and had written code in as recently as the prior week.
