One of the most common things we see students struggle with is feeling like they are "not good at coding" because they don't remember everything.
But here's something important to remember:
You don't have to memorize everything. You need to understand the problem you're trying to solve.
As a developer, you will constantly look things up. You'll use documentation, examples, tutorials, GitHub, search engines, and other resources. Even experienced developers don't remember every method, property, or piece of syntax.
What matters is knowing what you need to accomplish, being able to break the problem into smaller steps, and knowing how to find the information that will help you get there.
Don't ask yourself:
❌ "Why can't I remember this?"
Instead, ask:
✅ "What am I trying to accomplish?"
✅ "What do I already understand?"
✅ "What information do I need to find?"
Learning to code isn't about memorizing every line.
