I can think about people who can do this happily. Some of them are professional programmers. Some are self-taught. Some have CS education. Seriously.
OTOH, I'm similar to you. I either re-use my own snippets or read SO or similar sites to get an idea generally how a problem is solved and adapt it to my code unless I find the concept I'm looking for inside the language docs or books I have.

Yes, I'm a RTFM type of programmer.
