Rote memorizing and using formulas, with no clue of the significance of the formulas. I just talked to someone who claimed to be a heavy in Thermodynamics, and he only had rote memorization. When I gave him the correct definition, he was shocked.

A PhD in History is not, it turns out, about memorizing facts other people discovered

Academics are definitely more interested in novel research, and, yeah, I would have to guess that if you just really know Roman military history well that might not actually strike your prospective colleagues as sexy. 1/3

This is 100% incorrect as the explanation for why someone obsessed with Roman *military* history is not being hired.

Y'know, you're surprisingly good at playing this off.
I spent all night memorizing the script just to get Leon to laugh.
Really keeping your nose to the grindstone there! ...So, that about does it. How'd you find it?
...Hmph. How foolish.

It reminds me of how people talk about fighting games like long complex combos are the baseline for being good, when really you can spend all day memorizing a 30 hit combo but if you can't read your opponent and play neutral around them you'll get folded still

I really enjoy how that post is a Christian litmus test of sorts. You can tell we both came from Catholic cultures because neither of us retorted with another Bible verse for the simple reason that Catholicism renders any lay person in reach physically incapable of memorizing a single word of it.

Honestly, using the regex-generator/testing websites is better than memorizing all the dialects, let alone trying to debug why your precious hand-crafted regex isn't working on this one weird edge case.
*sigh* So much of my life, wasted in retrospect.

I hope I can nab a Steam Machine one day. Building PC's is just not something I have enough money or time to invest in building and memorizing aaaalllll of that shit. 4060, 4030 Ti, GTX, RAM, VRAM, blah blah blah. Yea I "get it" but the average person shouldn't have to. The market is fucked too.

Software architecture matters more than language specifics now. Understanding system design and behavior under load has become critical—memorizing syntax has become optional.

education is a collective practice of problematization and (re)imagination. we do it in between the time we spend pretending to "the taxpayer" that we are training ourselves for "jobs". how in the world would asking a computer what the answer is and memorizing that do anything useful??

Some of the acting was also like memorizing some instructions really fast then forget them. Like I had to walk from one mark on the floor to another at a certain speed, turn, move to the actress, kneel, smile with hope in my face, stand with her, and walk to the rear screen.🧵
