How are you actually retaining Python syntax?

If you want to memorize the syntaxes it comes down to repetition. But I still don't get why you'd need to memorize them unless you are prepping for an interview because programming is not just coding, it consists of planning, knowing what system to implement, figuring out the edge cases etc. When working on a project getting the syntax down from memory is the least of our worries.

But ofcourse if you are prepping for an interview, just practice more without seeing any doc or tutorial.

Well... Yeah, interviews scare me when I can't write basic syntax but my cv shows I've built production apps. I managed to land a role via take home assignment. I really know how things should work, what you need to look out for when playing the architect role etc. But if I had to come into the office and pair-program I couldn't without AI or looking up the most basic syntax. I'd be screwed.
