I think this is normal especially if you’re changing languages, frameworks, codebases. Some people are gifted in memorization of these things and others of us just forget if it’s not needed. I do the same thing with people’s names. If you’re working on the same type of thing everyday you’ll likely remember how to reverse an array in JavaScript. The other day I was trying to remember how to reverse a string in JavaScript… that was fun.

> Some people are gifted in memorization of these things Those are usually people who aren't changing languages or frameworks. Memory is mostly recency and repetition, so if you want better memory then narrowing scope is a good strategy. I'd rather go broad so that I can better make connections between things but have to always look up the specifics especially now with LLMs right there
