Obviously I didn't mean to imply that your merits as a programmer should be judged by your ability to recall specific syntax, like the equality operator in some language.
I'm wondering about the long term effects of not paying attention to such details. Do you miss out on picking up patterns used by a certain library, framework, language or whatever, that you could have used to write your own code better?
