To anyone for which learning lots of names of things that you use semi-frequently is a bottleneck: you can use spaced repetition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition) to remember them way more easily. I use Anki (https://apps.ankiweb.net/), SuperMemo is another option (with other features, and lots of interesting articles on their website). For example, I've been using it to remember shell commands and options. Now whenever I have to search for an option that I think will be useful in the future, for example `-M/--max-columns` for ripgrep, I put it in Anki (question: "Ripgrep: Search for 'clukay' and don't print columns longer than 200 bytes", answer: "rg -M/--max-columns 200 clukay"). Each day I review my cards (~5/10 minutes at most). I used to not be able to remember an option like that that I use once a week, but now I can. For more info on how to use it effectively, I've found https://borretti.me/article/effective-spaced-repetition to be really helpful. |
