I recently did a lightning talk at our eng all-hands about this very thing: how I am quick to learn things, but also quick to forget them after I stop using them regularly. And forgetting things I'm not using is totally fine in my opinion, but I wanted more control over what and when that is. I am also using Anki to help myself with this issue, and so far it's working (although I still need to build a better habit of doing it daily instead of every other day, I still slip sometimes). The post that inspired me to try it was this one[0]. What got me excited is that it talked about not just using Anki to remember things I already know, but as a tool to learn new complex topics from scratch.
