memorization

Sure, memorization is critical to get to the point where you can compete at that level, but once you're there, memorization is just a given.

Like it's not the rote memorization of function calls, or standard libraries that makes a good programmer.

It just doesn't really matter because memorization is so much more important than both of them.

That is, the burden of password memorization remains but they don't gain much for their trouble.

Kids start out just playing by rote memorization, and by ear, with no charts.

That's still a scenario where the vast amount of memorization you did is more important than the strategy you may come up with.

The author's point was that memorization is how you pass these silly interviews.

Not so many educators are as wise as Richard Feynman's father is in teaching Richard Feynman memorization is not understanding how a bird's behaviors.

Maybe not one meant for easy of memorization and drawing though.

If you program a lot in a particular language or API, a little bit of rote memorization saves a lot of time in the long run.

I think very few programmers used memorization techniques to learn a new language.

I'm surprised that memory or memorization would be the key (for some people?

It seems to me that the people who succeed utilize a mixture of both approaches ("memorization" and "conceptual understanding").

If "learning the language" means rote memorization of an inconsistent set of rules for how the fucking code is parsed, then you're goddamn right I'd rather mindlessly insert a character that obviates that.

Thousands of premade!bangs that I would have to memorize, rather than create myself (which makes memorization much easier) Although pointless, it's fun to use my keyword "ddg" to use their bang syntax to search another site.

"I'd spend a month or two immersing myself in the technical, in the algorithms, in the memorization, and in the process push aside my creative and experimental tendencies." Memorization is certainly not the way to learn how to solve math/cs/logic problems.

Memorization is definitely useful for programmers.
