So true. Still I'm sometimes amazed by the amount of stuff most devs do remember. Compared to how much there is to know it seems like nothing though...

Thats why most tests in my university are open book. If you don't understand the concept of the subject the slides etc don't help you but if you did, you can save valuable time.

In college, they ask us to learn even the "options" of Linux commands because it is asked in the theory paper! 😕

@lexxer why duckduckgo over Google? I thought Google would give more relevant results.

lexxer7158y@AnirudhKonduru its for tinfoilhat-reasons, i just dont want google to know everything im searching for

@lexxer all they're gonna do with ur search queries is give you better results. You could use DDG for all your other searches that actually need privacy

Another reason google is a good thing.
$40 books that go out of date in less than a year.@mpotratz -

Most of my programming classes had open book tests... except assembly, where it was closed-book, closed-computer, timed, and included several 10+ digit decimal-to-binary conversions
There is no shame in using google to program.
'Back in the day' we had phonebook sized books of documentation on our desks we would reference constantly.
Why?
No one is going to memorize a phone book sized book. Not to mention three or four of them.
Being a good dev is about creativity, not memorization.
