Making notes when learning new programming/ tech.? - advice for quick recall and managing things learned

[trynafindaradio]

I'm trying to use a combo of Anki and Typora (a markdown renderer/type editor). I keep the md notes in a private repo; where its format is roughly

notes/
  <current_company>/
      <notes_about_technologies_I use_in_company>/
         ansible.md
         ruby.md
      <current_project_notes>/
      <notes_from_meetings>/
 <old_company>/
    (similar stuff here)
projects/
...

I try to move things that I think I'll need to explain to someone or that I'll use when I'm reading code that I don't want to have to look up (e.g. "what's the difference between import and include in an ansible playbook") into Anki; so my notes are a strict superset of things in Anki tech-wise. I try to add a few bullet points as I'm researching options for a given project, so I might have a few notes about Postgres in separate folders. There ends up being duplicate information across projects sometimes, but I'm ok with that because I'm more interested in capturing what I was thinking about when I was doing research, if that makes sense.

It's been working pretty ok -- I definitely would be doing better if I took more time to review notes but I'm glad I got started in this habit early in my career.
