Like with anything, there's a time to practice a craft and a time to perform it. All SRS does is optimize those practice sessions. It's still up to me to go beyond that and work the projects.
Stackoverflow and documentation serve to complement my Anki deck. I learn what I need and apply it to my project. After that, Anki cards get created.
Ultimately, I just see "stuff that you can google" as supplements to memory rather than replacements for it.
- asimilator 11y ago> All SRS does is optimize those practice sessions. I think I'm struggling to see how flash cards would be an effective practice session. Why not just code something? Start a hobby project, contribute to something open source, etc. You'll use everything you'd rote memorize in context (and naturally start remembering it).
- pcote 11y agoExample from something I added today.... -------------------------------------------------- Front: Setup a flask view that requires basic authentication. Use the httpauth extension. Back: How did it go? -------------------------------------------------- I have a lot of cards like this where I put the onus on myself to code up my own samplers. My hobby is one where I'm playing around with Magic the Gathering data in JSON format. Over the past week, I designed a database, wrote SQLAlchemy scripts to populate it, and built up some RESTful web service views over it in Flask. It's been a lot of fun. There'a a natural harmony where my performance on Anki reviews boosts my project work and vice versa. If there's a "key thing" to it all, it's that I have a project flow that works for me and makes me happy with the whole process.
- barefootford 11y agoYep, exactly. The majority of the cards I do are either a problem where I convert a sentence from English to X, or it's create a function that takes in these parameters and returns this. Most cards should be challenges, not just quick one word answers.
- barefootford 11y agoBecause "just coding something" won't cover every method/function idiom you've ever learned. Creating a card with a corresponding challenge can do that. If you just make a Ruby script to practice programming you're allowing yourself to forget another language or framework knowledge.
