There was an HN poster a few months ago who claimed that memorizing the Python standard library made him much more productive.

Well, to be fair, they do recommend that you "keep this under your pillow" [1]

I'm one of those people. I haven't memorized all of the Python standard library, but whenever I run into things that I need to do on a monthly frequency (which is not enough to remember things just by using them), I add them to my Anki deck.

Probably because it's so hard to find stuff in the docs!

But... but... I thought best practice was to use autocomplete or Copilot and let the IDE remember things for me!
