I have used anki before for learning foreign languages. Spaced repetition is key to memorization.
I am, however, very surprised that there’s people out there memorizing function call signatures. It never crossed my mind to do that. My intuition is that it’d take the joy away of learning anything new.
But then, I know that for some people memorization isn’t torture. Maybe this is what’s going on here?
Author here. I don’t memorize function signatures (or anything else my IDE helps me with). I do memorize anything I have to look up more than a few times.
