Good stuff, and I’d add one more trick from the old Zed Shaw books: if you want to learn something new, type it out yourself. Can you copy paste? Can you make the robot do it? Yes, but going through the motion helps embed it in your brain.

Once it’s deep in your memory, you can take all the shortcuts you want, but now it’s for speed instead of necessity.
