Comment on Retiring a Great Interview Problemparent

I think onemoreact meant that after relying on a good IDE for awhile you can easily forget whether the method is named table.keys() or table.getKeys(), hasElements() or hasMoreElements(), stuff like that. Forgetting such things doesn't impair your ability to understand or debug the code.

Java's idiosyncratic interfaces don't always help either: there's Enumeration which has nextElement() and hasMoreElements(), and there's Iterator which has next() and hasNext().
