Like a budget hard drive after 6 months use, my memory is shot. I feel like I can barely remember anything.

I've been learning to code for the past 6 months and I have to periodically relearn all the concepts I had already learnt to implement them. I must mention that I am also trying to learn another language as well as do my full-time day job at the same time.

It feels like I am barely making any progress and that has been a shot in the arm to my confidence.

I don't want to feel like I suck at everything, the only thing I think I have going for myself is that I think I can improve myself.

Any tips to help with memory retention?

Unsure if it'd be your case, but maybe you're too tired? Tiredness can mess memory afaik. Or maybe you're not using the ideal learning methods? In my case for language learning, for example, repetition is a guaranteed way for me to lose focus, instead with cinversations being ideal for learning.
