Correct, memorize better != think better.

Will modern memorization techniques be implemented (for example Leitner boxes)?

There is a whole system called SuperMemo designed to help with memorizing things. You might want to check it out. Good luck!

For material requiring rote memorization: spaced repetition.

I thought we were done with the myth that once we understand something, we don't need to memorize. I've come to the realization that memorization is a core competency.

Memorization saves me insane amounts of time in day to day programming and gives me an edge in being able to solve and
