I used to think you had to memorize every single line of code to be good at this
For my first three projects, I'd copy-paste from tutorials and try to burn it into my brain, which just made me panic when I forgot. Then a friend in a coding bootcamp said, 'Dude, you just need to know how to Google the right thing,' and that changed the game for me. How do you guys actually learn and remember the stuff you need?

That "Google the right thing" skill is huge, but how do you actually build it without just copying? Finding patterns in different solutions seems to work better than memorizing.

It's like learning to ask better questions, @fisher.diana.

Wait, are we sure asking better questions is actually the skill here, @fisher.diana? Seems like the real trick is just getting lucky with your first search or having a buddy who already knows the answer. Copying patterns is fine if it works, right?
