I came to a belief recently that memorization is way too underrated of a skill. Most of programmers, myself included believe that why you should memorize something if you can look it up, but... I'm not really sure by now.

Perhaps we rely too much on our ego that we can come up with everything on the fly where we should instead look into how other crafts did it in the past?
