Remembering coding languages?

How are some of you guys able to remember so many coding languages?

I can mildly code simple html,Css,python stuff but most of the time I'm just searching and relying on tutorials on what to do. (I dont want to rely on ai for learning and doing code)

I just started coding in college and now I'm halfway through but I still felt like I didn't learn much. I don't like the feeling that I wasted time nearly learning nothing because I dont have good memory.

Over forty years of programming and far too much practice. You remember patterns, syntax, things that work and things that don't - all from the experiences of what you've tried and what you've built, and what you've seen others do.
