This made me chortle. I remember when I first joined a dev team asking someone how many of something their section should be able to store:

I don’t know, I’d have to look at the code.

It was an eye opening moment. Very few people can keep everything in their head. I’ve met a couple. They were rockstars who were truly exceptional.

For me it all depends on how often a project changes. If it's constantly in flux, I don't bother remembering any of it because I might not be the last one who touched it. The more you try to remember everything, the more wrong you become due to the successive work of your coworkers.
