Spaced repetition isn't about learning, it's about remembering. From the article:
> Flash cards are for remembering what you’ve learned.
Flash cards are great for something that you don't use often but still want to remember. I use it a lot for CLI options (docker, ripgrep, etc), parts of the standard library that are useful once in a while but not always, algorithms, editor shortcuts. It also means that when you switch environments you can still remember everything.
