> They change that often?

Typically not very much, but it -can- happen. I don't see the need to have stuff like that memorized when I can just check my wiki, or search online if that fails. Or I can even just look at one of my past codebases really quick with fuzzy searching or grep.

For any domain that I'm working in, it's typically unnecessary anyways. I do a lot of work in Rust right now so I have most things like that off the top of my head, etc.

I also use the "wiki"(mine is just a series of atomized plain text notes) to learn stuff and look up. When that failed, I used google.

I just think that memorizing syntax is potentially valuable in switching context.
