I meant "find something when we need it" and remember it to be the same. I'm not trying to create a photographic memory. Short term memory is limited, and it requires repetition for something to sink into long-term memory.

How often have you looked something up (e.g. "how do I cherry pick in git?") only to forget it and then 2 months later to look up the same information again? For this we take notes.

I'm working on reducing the need to re-do the same process again and again, to making learning and remembering more efficient.
