    I don’t know if you mean you don’t remember the gist even, but it’s more about learning about what’s possible with what so you can look up specifics when you need them than remembering the contents wholesale

      This is exactly it. Do I have to read a reference for regex every damn time? Yes. But I also have an idea of what it can do; and knowing that, I have a vague idea when a problem presents itself that I could use regex to solve it.
