I was a good programmer because I was a *terrific* memorist: I could learn things by heart, and I could organize them in my mind in such a fashion that I could get to them whenever I needed them. It is the nature of humans that whatever they have had so far, they assume they will have forever. There's a default assumption that whatever's going on will continue to go on, ad infinitum. This applies to the good things they have, and also the bad things, of course, and is a defining property of humans, in my view.
