Conspiracy? Well it must be true.

That feels like a really broad question. I always find it useful to look up the reading lists for university courses on subjects I’m interested in. You can usually find the PDFs with a quick search in Google Scholar. Then, using something like Polar, you can annotate the readings and directly save your annotations as Anki cards.
That way, you can build a knowledge base of what actually interests you, which you’re much more likely to study and retain in the first place.

Maybe start by using it to remember git commands, or something of that nature

... and unfortunately without spaced repetition. It was once part of the premium service but has been removed around a year ago. Source: I was a paying user.

#9I've been using Anki for about 3 years to learn Korean and it's been tremendously successful. In that time I've learned around 3000 new words (both English -> Korean and Korean -> English with reversed cards) and a ton of grammar (using Cloze cards). I couldn't imagine trying to memorize this amount of information any other way now.

The mere fact of retrieving information from memory helped me in understanding. I was using Anki back when I was learning Python, and it definitely helps in productivity (reducing my hits to StackOverflow to 50%+).
