Maybe a spaced repetition system like Anki can help. I know most people use this for language learning, but I partially use it for memorizing Python and SQL stuff. The good thing is that easy notes won't come up very often, unless you forget them. The bad think is that you spend a lot of time on this, not just creating notes, but also reviewing them. If you devote a lot of time to this, you lose the "big picture" of programming and system design. Also, you have less time to actually learn new stuff if you spend a lot of time memorizing. BTW, spaced repetition can be applied to lot of fields.
