How much did you forget in that time span? Did you have to relearn a bunch, and did it come back faster the second time?

I feel like I forget so much about programming on a daily basis that I would probably have to re-earn a CS degree if I took 3 months off lol.



Forgetting is not a problem. Given all the churn in the js world lately it feels like I’m re-earning a CS degree every 3 months anyway.

Skipping 3 years you wouldn’t miss anything, just read up on the latest and you are good to go.

If you are lucky, the PR you submitted to some sleeping library, months ago, might have finally been accepted when you get back.


Yes, absolutely. It's been a rocky road getting back. I'd say after a year and a half I'm about 85% back to where I was before.
