Nowhere in the meme did it suggest removing it from the education system. It still doesn't mean it is useful for most people, outside of niche fields. The two things can both be true.
I'll disagree. It is useful. You benefit from going through learning this stuff regardless.
You forget most of what you learn if your memory muscle is not flexed regularly, especially on complex math equations and the like, so I would say it is useless for those that fall into this category.
You’ll forget “exactly” how you did it. Sure.
But you’ll remember that you solved something “similar” before and know that you can trace back or use some keywords in google/bing/ddg/etc to find a blog or something that goes over it in detail. Helping you solve the issue.
If you never learn it in the first place. You’ll never know it’s there.
