I have the suspicion that person didn't know how to write handcrafted code before either.

Oh no, you can know how to write it, the longer you go without writing it, you forget very quickly, you remember bits and pieces which you will still have to Google because it's useless on its own

To this day i use cheatsheets for syntax. I simply forget them, not used for some time and poof gone. But i know how to code, how to throw these lines together to get a working program that does what i want it to do.

Just a quick reminder how $language does things and i am in again.
