Personally, I find the 'knowledge half-life' problem to be easily solved with spaced repetition. I've used SuperMemo for a few years now, and have found it invaluable for retaining and revisiting old concepts, especially when switching between different tech stacks. The priority queue system of supermemo fixes the issues Anki and others have when collections grow to larger than 10K+ cards, where the daily load can often become unmanageable.I find 30 minutes a day of supermemo, supplemented by an hour of purposefully randomized review on weekends keeps even very old topics near the forefront of my mind. It's like having a well-maintained toolbox I can throw at different problems at any time. The slight daily effort is more than compensated by the retention gains I've noticed over time.
