I defer. I value remembering syntax of programing language. Not all syntaxes, but your commonly used ones.

I have been remembering Python syntax through Anki. Recently, I needed to write some adhoc scripts for backfill. I felt so productive without looking at any references. It took me 3x less time to complete my task compared to always looking at references.

What happens if you include the time you spent drilling yourself with Anki? Are you still ahead?
