Why to use mind mapping for remembering data structures ?

Java Data Structures example

During development it’s easier to have a map of the data structures instead of always going to Stackoverflow or other sites….Having a mind map you can simply view and check what data structure you need in order to implement something. The maps can be based on the type like Lists, Sets .. etc or time complexity or best practices how to use them.

More, if you use some mind mapping software you will find them very interesting to manage.

What if we go further and use mind maps for software design ?

Doing software design and architecture using mind mapping I think it helps. You can breakdown the domain very easy, see relations between business concepts and components and also gather thoughts, ideas, requirements and best practices.
