> With programming languages, as long as you have a computer, there is no reason to learn it without actually using it. Spaced repetition isn't about learning, it's about remembering. From the article: > Flash cards are for remembering what you’ve learned. Flash cards are great for something that you don't use often but still want to remember. I use it a lot for CLI options (docker, ripgrep, etc), parts of the standard library that are useful once in a while but not always, algorithms, editor shortcuts. It also means that when you switch environments you can still remember everything.
