I keep a record of any info that I learn (organized by topic) in Workflowy. I even keep a note of everything I do. Basically my goal is to decrease the chance of going through the same process of learning something, multiple times. I also think of it as a cache for Google. I sometimes search my knowledge base before searching Google. For example: how to delete duplicate lines in emacs? I just found it in my knowledge base in under 3 seconds but would have taken more time googling (also more distracting)

You hit the nail on the head. I run a personal instance of Dokuwiki, and find that this is my L1 cache for knowledge. Vim, Git, Linux... all the stuff I use the most often is there and organized in the way I find optimal. It's also very convenient to have a reference on various devices that you own. Specs, links to manuals, common troubleshooting steps and an inbox of future work and enhancements.
