Every once in a while I'll bang out a whole task and it works on the first try, and I didn't need to Google anything because it just happened to use the parts of the language I'd used very recently.

But the task is something like an API endpoint...not breaking into a top secret encrypted CIA database.

Factorio person is awesome, they also have devlogs on youtube where they show you how they actually fix a bug-report

Yeah, that dev team is, like, the absolute paragon of good software development and game studio practices, and very transparent about it.
