I mean, I'm not a mathematician but I don't expect that I should be able to write a proof.
You talk of memorizing syntax like its a challenge but excluding a small number of advanced languages no programmer thinks syntax is hard. But if you don't understand the basics how can you expect to be able to understand if the solution an LLM presents is decent and not rife with bugs (security and otherwise)
I guess my issue is people are confusing a shortcut with actually being able to do the thing. If you can't remember syntax I don't really want your code anywhere I care about
