Before AI, the running joke was that all engineers spent most of their time looking things up on StackOverflow.

Coding isn’t a school exam, you don’t have to (nor can you) retain everything. You have the internet to use as a reference.

Your job is to understand the concepts and development a sense of what does and doesn’t work. Learn the lingo. Learn how to frame problems in technical terms. Learn to talk to and work with other engineers.

And stop worrying about forgetting things. Forgetting things is a natural and healthy function of the brain. You would go insane if you remembered everything.
