i don't know exactly how to ask this... but i find myself

Maybe you're just retarded?
A language doesn't have more than 20 keywords, and once you learned a C-like, you've learned them all.
The syntax is almost identical across all C-like languages, (C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Rust, Go, etc.).

maybe you should explain what you're talking about first OP.. commands are pre-compiled and are directly executable, yet you're talking about mention the word programming.. do you mean scripting?

> it makes me feel amateurish when i have to hit up google sometimes 2 or 3 times when using a command across a couple of a weeks.

Sheet, I have been doing this for 10+ years, and I have to google stuff 2 or 3 times a day! Good lord, save all that brain power for creating! Not remembering stupid syntax/commands... that is why google exists... REFERENCES!!!

not basic syntax. even if a language is c-like, the built in functions are all written differently, like if i had to use a toString in java, which i haven't used in years, i'd have to google that

today i had to google how to use scp while installing a django database onto a server

that's comforting

dude, my manager has been working in IT many many years.. he still googles shit / reads the man page. that's why there's an entire command for manuals. every program is different, get to know them all and learn to figure out what each one does. you'll start to retain a lot of it, but sometimes you need to google it.

This. No need to worry.
