    I still have to look up basic things even when I’m doing that, sadly.

    Things like “how do I reverse an array?” Will always be in my Google history because I can’t remember “.reverse” exists.

    Could I reimplement “.reverse” or just read the docs for an array? Yes. Will I? Never.

      I feel you, my problem is that I switch between languages too much. I’m learning rust right now as a hobby, but I’m technically a frontend dev with years of experience in angular and react, and a couple months ago I have been put on a legacy rails project, which we’re rewriting for Angular x Java stack (thankfully my roommate is a Java backend dev, he’s been a lot of help) and on top of this I maintain my Cyberpunk 2077 mods written in lua, c++ and redscript (swift-like).

      Send help.

        How do I do thing that I do every day, but in this language I’m using today

        Modding is definitely a nightmare though. One day I’m writing the latest python. The next I’m looking at some C library that was published half a decade before I was born and is for some reason deep in the bowels of the game engine I’m modding
