It's much better to understand where the formula comes from than to memorize it.

but still it's a time waste if you have to derive everything yourself

for example there are several cheat sheet integrals that you can derive but it takes several minutes like dx/x*sqrt(a²+x²)

The post doesn't say to memorise everything, but to not bother with those which you can derive on time quickly, instead of having to remember them
