Is there anything that could help me memorise the argument order of the ln command?

I’ll take anything from little helper phrases over shell extensions to replacements written in Rust. I only use the command occasionally, but I need a fool-proof solution. Do you have any tricks to get it right?

    Think of it like making a fake copy? Source file is first, symlink is second.

      That’s what I mean: what you’re going to operate on; where you’re going to put it.
