What's something you always have to Google?

I always have to look up JS array methods 'slice' and 'splice' and regex.

What about you - is there something you need to Google again and again despite of using it multiple times before?

Regex for sure.... every time I need a new regular expression I find myself back on Stack Overflow or Regex101 learning it again the hard way 🤦
