One thing that is very different from going to school for computer science and actually having a job as a software engineer is that in school you are expected to keep everything inside your own head and not rely on an outside source. In the world of software engineering you have the option to actually look up anything that you do not know off the top of your head. Granted that you cannot constantly be looking up things and even if you do it very rarely it ends up taking a lot of time trying to find the specific thing you are looking for. That is where cht.sh comes in handy. This website lets you look up cheat sheets on a lot of different languages and even has a way of searching the web for content if it does not already have the answer you are looking for. It isn’t even necessary to go to the website in order to look things up. You can simply use the command line to access everything. It has some predefined cheat sheets and even has a tutorial over the basics of many languages. There is a command for searching the documentation or if it can not find it then it will simply look up an answer for you. It is a very nice tool to have as a developer and can come in handy when needing a quick refresher on something.
