i remember when i start coding first time (with note pad), first couple of month i keep pocket book close, then i download the manual (it was 56K times) and it was open all the time. back then memorizing functions from stdlib was a normal thing, but there is a saying, always check man page after you write the code.

first time i use an editor which have auto completion but it works only for same file, it was time saving thing.

then i see real auto completion feature, full function name, parameters, returns and couple of words from manual, it was mind blowing for me.

then i start using eclipse, with one click whole class generation from interfaces etc. one of my friend create its own snippets and it was writing like 3 person, couple of keyword strikes and bamm, whole thing is ready.

then internet become something like air instead of water, constant flow of information, constant needs.
