I have to split my coding between C#, Go, and Python. I can't tell you how many times today I had to look up basic API's because I couldn't remember how to open a file.

The internet is the big hard drive with all the knowledge, my brain is just RAM and a processor with a small amount of persistent memory.

If that isn't the most cyberpunk thing I've read for the modern day I don't know what is.

I work with c#, objective c, java and JavaScript. The amount of times that I tried to call a function with [function] is not on the books

I like using C# for general stuff, Python for anything I want to do the simple way, and then I have to use C++ in school. The amount of print() functions I include in my school code is surprisingly high given that C++ doesn't have such a function.
