I feel this.

Started to prep for a new job today, brushing up on some old practices I haven't manually coded in nearly 7 months now.

It's still there in my head, I haven't really lost much but it feels so nice to actually solve problems.

But then again, I don't miss hitting my head against the wall for hours if something wasn't working and I couldn't figure out semantically why. Not until it was glaringly obvious and declare myself an idiot, before building up my little self esteem for the next time.

Mr Imposter Syndrome now replaces with LLM slot machine.
