It really depends on the software professional. I do, but I have a terrible memory. I use flashcards to remember names of technologies that are important but that I don't use daily. I create flashcards when I make a mistake in programming, so I'm less likely to make that mistake again. I create flashcards every time I look up information, so that I keep it in mind. If you have a normal memory, you probably don't need it as much.
