@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.

@slembcke@mastodon.gamedev.place honestly i have such poor verbal memory that there's definitely a few programming languages which i gave up on because the syntax alone was too large for me to remember. but put me in a physical place i've only been to once, twenty years ago, and i'll be able to navigate and remember the layout and every landmark and small detail perfectly. if only they made programming less about text and more like that, huh
