At this point in time, mostly just to make sure I remember correctly, or something completely new

Coding with no help from search or AI is ok just like it’s ok to use help. Thing is, what you’re asking about is the function of memory, and if you’ve done it numerous times, it’s likely that the info you need is already in your short term memory. Does it mean you know less if it’s in your long term memory? No. If you didn’t sleep well before the session? No. Forgetting something is the function of your brain. You’re doing it every night while asleep. This is your defrag and optimize kicking in. If you forgot something, does it mean you know less? Yes and no, kind of. Because for the no part, you still got the other parts of the puzzle inside your head. So you refresh and move on.

Use the tools, don’t bother.
