Nobody here was advocating against learning and memorising, but for writing code that is as self-evident and unambiguous as possible.
Talk to any electrician which kinds of diagrams they prefer; those were a fellow was clever, trying to compress stuff as much as possible, or those that are clearly readable and easy to understand. Pilots carry heaps of documentation with them on the plane, walk through checklists instead of trying to memorise what to do. Your argument doesn’t hold up the slightest scrutiny.
I’m advocating for a culture of helping people hone their skills by learning from others instead of being turned off by their arrogance. That’s a very different thing from encouraging them to avoid thinking.
Imagine a pilot, plumber, or electrician not wanting to learn the language of the trade. No other profession I know of is as self-destructive to intelligence as the software industry.
I’m so glad I don’t have someone like you on my team.
I don't want lazy brainless losers either, because that's what you're advocating for.
