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?

@fell@ma.fellr.net After using unix (mostly not linux!) for 10 years I found that I just knew it and always got it right. I haven't had to think about ln in the last 20 years - my fingers just work. I guess that is one advantage to getting older/wiser. (I'm just hoping I don't get cognitive decline like so many do, though probably I wouldn't for 20-30 more years)
