Comment on Ask HN: What useful skills can be learned through rote memorization?

Comments

1. Rubiks cube

2. Wordle. It’s much more a game of probability than anything else so start by eliminating the most common consonants and vowels. I am averaging word selection on the third row.

3. As a typical software developer can get a better job by memorizing all the details of common digital transmission mechanisms from the specifications. It’s how I escaped JavaScript insanity.

4. You can get a gardening green thumb by memorizing plant details, knowing the chemistry of your dirt, and buying old bananas by the case for conversion into a fertilizer slurry.
