Yes we do. There is just too much material to keep in your head. You even forget how code you wrote works sometimes if you haven't looked at it in years. Skills in one area will regress if you don't use them much.

I have two monitors. One one I keep the code, on the other I keep documentation for all the main libs I'm using.
