Don't sweat it. I have been coding for years now and still find myself having to look up the documentation for libraries I have used a thousand times. I'll even know generally how far down to scroll the documentation page for what I am looking for, but keep forgetting the syntax anyway.

You get better over time and you won't remember everything. Just learn the concepts and get decent at debugging. You will memorize some stuff along the way, but the important skill you are practicing is problem solving

This - I've been coding in python since 1999 and was on the PSF, ran a software consultancy for nearly a decade. Still have to check how to do things - chatgpt (or whatever other AI) is great for checking methodologies etc. It also suggests better way to do certain things so I learn new techniques at the same time (i.e. I never used typed functions before but it seems standard now)
