My favorite thing about using a programming language I haven't used in a while is googling its syntax for comments and function definitions. Always makes me feel like a real pro grammer.

a colleague once told me that what makes a good researcher is realizing that reference material exists, so the profession is how to find your way back to / forward to things, and then using the prebuilt stuff. Keeping all of it in your head is actively detrimental to the process, because it requires memorization or a lot of reading very similar things
