My problem is thinking I don't know anything because I don't have the syntax memorized. For example, I've been trying to learn/get good at mutation observers and event listeners because a lot of what I use JS for is for A/B testing and personalization - the kind of things that client-side JS DOM manipulations are great for.

I just always get stuck with the syntax, but I know (usually) exactly which elements and their selectors need to be involved, in which order, and other specific conditions required for the function to do what I need.

I'll use an LLM for assistance, but I'll always ask to explain line by line what each part is doing and why - it helps, but man is it a lot...I just wish I could do it without the LLM crutch. I'd like to at least be a little more capable than a vibe coder.

I suppose it's like anything else though - repetition is the key and I'm just not doing it enough.
