When I started like 20ish years ago, you didn't have all that fancy IDE stuff thrown easy at you. For a matter of fact, I didn't even have access to a stable internet. So I learned a lot and relied on my memory.

It had many drawback, it had some upsides like really having everything stuffed in my head and learning probably more promptly by searching/memorizing.
