How to disable your brain’s garbage collector

I want to tell you about my method of preparing for an interview.

I try to dive into a technical topic until it stops annoying me. I’ve noticed one common issue with interviews: they usually fire off the same disconnected questions. As a result, you end up with a disjointed graph in your brain. The Garbage Collector then ruthlessly deallocates Promises, closures, and everything else because they aren’t connected to any root objects, and we didn’t write code that way in our actual projects.

The goal is to find a way to connect this graph into a single whole, so the Garbage Collector stops freaking out and throwing away bits of information you read a month ago.
