As someone who often forgets the syntax for a for loop in a language I've been using every day for 10 years, for some people the muscles were never there in the first place.

    I don't really want to, which was kind of my point. I don't want to spend 5 days in the gym to lift a heavy box once a year, it just doesn't make sense.

        I'm sure it's domain dependent but for me I really don't, I write maybe one or two a year.
