++Anki

Myself and my daughters use Anki every day. It has been the defining factor in turning my mediocre job into a career. And Ankidroid on Android is open source.

Can you tell me what type of cards did you use for your career? I'm thinking to start using Anki, but not sure how to structure the cards. Thanks!

Lots of cards for Linux commands, programming gotchas, and client-specific details like "Foo prefers H:i:s date formats".

Can you elaborate in how it's been that transformative? I get why it's a useful tool, but you seem particularly enthusiastic. How are you using it?

A big shout-out to both Anki and Ankidroid. I wish there was a way to donate to them.

Like other sibling comments, I would also like to know how you have used Anki to transform your career.

I like Anki but I have never been able to figure out how to capture complex and often long business related information in tiny cards.
