Fata: Spaced Repetition to Combat Skill Rot from AI Coding

Fata (fata.dev) is a spaced repetition platform designed for developers who rely heavily on AI coding assistants. The tool generates personalized quizzes and coding exercises based on the user's recent codebase and AI usage patterns. It aims to prevent 'skill rot'—the degradation of knowledge and abilities that comes from over-reliance on AI. Fata integrates with IDEs to track which tasks the user let AI handle and creates review prompts for those concepts. It uses an algorithm similar to Anki but tailored to programming concepts. The developer argues that without deliberate practice, engineers become increasingly dependent on AI and lose deep understanding.
