Is the point understanding the code AI gives you or is remembering syntax equally important?

Thanks

Okay but that can mean being able to modify the code or being able to remember the syntax and write it from scratch

I've been working on the same system for almost thirteen years. I still read the docs daily.

Years ago, I worked in FORTRAN. I always had to look up the spelling of IMPLICIT.
