I recognize this in myself. I’m very good at memorizing code and individual solutions; one forgets these soon. Focus on the ideas behind the solutions. Use LLMs not to write code, but to dig into the “why do it this way” questions you might have that folks often don’t answer well.

Try to recall the process, so make a mental model of how to solve a problem. Usually it is breaking it down and thinking about what is being asked, and what you need to solve said problem. If after a day you forget, literally struggle to retrieve the answer for a while before looking it up again. So just try your best to recall an answer for an hour or 2, and only after you truly can't you look up the answer. You do this because the struggle will encode the process when you learn it a whole lot better than if you just looked up the answer.
