Yeah, like if I'm learning about MCPs and going through their tutorial, I think there is some value in manually writing down the code by hand just to form those associations, similar to how great artists, writers, and painters will imitate work to learn the details.
I definitely do this with UI design, which is probably why even with very little real-life experience, the quality of my craft is better than 99% of the devs.
Yep, with AI, I'm wondering if this has changed for people. It likely has, but somebody who practices it and then entirely stops, I wonder if they can notice the difference in their memory or their ability to retain information. Or even the practicality of the friction that comes from not being able to quickly hash it out.
Even though coding doesn't require great memory, people who can ship fast enough have enough of a working memory that they can get the basics out without having to reference things. And then they’ll use reference material for edge cases when building interfaces. 0 reply
