@slembcke@mastodon.gamedev.place i've got a more advanced version of this, which is that if i start using something that requires me to remember a bunch of stuff, and i keep forgetting the stuff every time i have to use it, and i have to keep looking it up every time i want to do anything, then i just stop using it

@jk@mastodon.social Well I mean... I'm not talking about _using_ things so much as _doing_ things. Like I'm not going to stop doing mathy stuff because I don't want to remember trig identities, power rules, etc. I'm not going to stop programming either because I need to remember syntax or what's in a library. If I was using an image editor that I needed to look up where the feature was hidden every time I wanted to adjust levels? Eh, yeah that might be bad software then.
