I still look up the order to create a basic Linux symlink.
Acronyms or pneumonic devices can help solidify the things you do frequently to commit them to memory.
Frequent repetition, de stressing, quality sleep, exercise and SLOWING DOWN to actually digest the patterns and actions you’re doing can help.
Beyond that note things down and the rest isn’t important enough to need to remember, google is fine.
- renholder 8y agoI find that, if it's a concept completely foreign to me and it took me 30 minutes or more to figure it out, I'll write a blog post on it. (Did so, recently, with the Swedish Personnummer and Luhn Algorithms.) This mightn't help anyone else but me but the fact that I took the time to try to explain it to someone else means I've had to try to solidify my own understanding of it before attempting to explain it to someone else - if that makes sense? Perhaps, even the fact of writing it down helps me to remember it that much more because I have to present it as consumable material to someone who may not just "get it" from the onset.
- sethammons 8y agoHeh. I almost always type 'grep foo bar' and let the error tell me the right order because I never recall if it is needle haystack or haystack needle. I do this a lot.
