Thanks for providing these details.

For your Python example I'd just use a snippet. On the other hand, Google's pretty fast and always updated.

It's all a personal trade-off I guess. I wouldn't say it's common for me to forget I knew something. But maybe the cost of creating, maintaining, and reviewing card decks is worth it for you.

If I may ask, how do you know it's uncommon for you to forget you knew something?

E.g. when looking over old notes I remember most stuff.

What use is a snippet if I forget it exists and that there is a better way?

You'd probably remember a snippet if you made it. If not, there's autocomplete.

I wouldn't. Pre-flash cards, it was not unusual for me to review notes I had made years ago and rediscover things. And then forget they existed all over again.
