I'm terrible at memorization and RegExp / Unix shell / Perl / Maths with x y z always gave me trouble. Far better with verbose shell like VAX/VMS and verbose programming languages and descriptive variable names.
@RoundSparrow I understand that, I don't like memorisation because I'm bad with it. I'm more of, the more I use it, the more I'll remember it, not because I memorised it.
Another thing (although off-topic), the castle memory technique, usually attributed to memorisation. But, I don't know, for me, it's a storage technique. If I don't pull out a memory from its storage, I won't even remember it.
@youronlyone@autistics@actuallyautistic I think that's a feature of aging. I could do all sorts of intellectual tasks in my twenties and thirties that I absolutely cannot do now.
I'm pretty sure that it's true of "neurotypical" people just as much as it is of us.
@youronlyone as a non-Autistic (I think) I've always struggled with it. It just seems messy and complicated, although I realise it is powerful. I invariably use a tool like Google Bard or a website tester.
