- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

I think the difference here is we’re disagreeing on your first sentence. I disagree that needing to look up fundamental things is different than double checking. For instance off the top of my head I don’t remember if C# uses a case statement or a switch statement. But I know what those are and how to use them. I also have a fundamental disagreement with the idea that you could ever be in too much of a time crunch to not have to look something up. I’ve worked at hospitals and literally had lives on the line based on what I was doing and still felt like I had the time to make sure that what I was doing was correct.
At the end of the day, I personally feel that it’s more important that one have a general understanding of their subject and an ability to confirm their understanding of that subject quickly then simply memorizing facts.
