Regarding API docs, I'm certainly not saying I have all APIs memorized, or that you're approach is bad. Its just that the comment you posted sounds like past employers have asked you to learn things and you've resisted. I suppose its actually the "I don't see the value" part of that sentence that bothers me more. Also, I was saying that it sends a bad signal, not that it necessarily means you're not intellectually curious. I absolutely agree that some things are timeless, and the breadth of knowledge an experienced programmer has is their primary advantage. It just seemed obvious, and you were more interested in disadvantages. Anyway, just some constructive criticism from a 27-year old business owner. Best of luck.
