Clearly, you just memorise / know everything. Jokes aside, there is a balance to be had between having to look up trivial, everyday things via intellisense, and expecting people to know every single method on a massive set of libraries. I'm always surprised by people who claim that the latter approach is a good investment of their time and mental capacity. At some scale, it simply cannot be optimal. |

Time spent memorizing APIs is time that could be spent learning new problem solving techniques or interesting algorithms.
These folks have bad opportunity cost assessments. There's always some piece of knowledge more useful for memorization than an API function.
