Every person learns differently, so there's no absolute statement that applies when talking about learning.

You are right, if you code frequently, it becomes much more retained. Not everyone who wants to learn to code has time, that is, a full time job, or a dedicated course of study within which to build that repetition.

I'm managing now and when I go home I like to spend time with my family, but I still like to learn new things and play with new ideas/languages on hobby projects, but I am very time constrained. Things like flash cards help me a lot, especially if I have a large gap of time between the last time I touched something.

I assume the author is in a similar position to me, or that they learn better with flash cards. I went back to Rust to play around a bit and found myself having to re-read the Rust book to get my head wrapped around a few things that were really obvious, but lost in the prose of the book after being away for a few months.

I strongly encourage you to think about how others learn, especially if you're ever in a position to teach or mentor anyone in your field.
