Well said. Some of the best engineers I know looked up syntax whenever they needed it because there’s not much point in wrote learning everything. As long as they understand what they’re doing, that’s the main point.

I’m honestly so sick of interviews filled with gotcha questions that if you’d happened to study the right thing you could outperform a great experienced engineer who hadn’t brushed up on a couple of specific googlable things before the interview. It’s such a bad practice.
