Well, because you are senior, your brain is occupied with things a little less trivial than html img tag syntax that you can find in 2 sec.
I would say its perfectly normal and desirable state of things.

There is a quote attributed to Albert E.:

“Never memorize something that you can look up.”

I strongly believe in it in my field of work.

Remembering everything is domain of the robots, not humans, who train to be better at searching for things/solutions using abstract thinking.

Im on regex101.com every time i have to write any regexp. ;)

PS. Emmet is a pretty nice tool to minimize duckduckgo.com trips on a daily basis. Or snippets in general. img<tab> => <img src="" alt="">

That's the exact quote that came into my head when I read the post. Great minds think alike :)
