> There's a lot of stuff where, I know how to do it but I can't remember the parameter order or the exact method name and the LLM absolutely knows. And I really get nothing out of trying to remember/look up the exact way to do something. Even when I do know, it often doesn't hurt to be like "can you give me a loop to replace all the occurrences of foo with bar in this array of strings" and I don't need to remember if it's string.replace(foo,bar), whether I need to use double or single quotes, if it's actually sub or gsub or whatever.

I mean, I kinda get it in more complicated contexts, but the particular examples you describe (not remembering method names and/or parameter orderings) have been solved for ages by any decent IDE.
