It Be Like This

Take a vacation, touch some grass, maybe read a book. Come back to your IDE and suddenly you're staring at your own code like it's written in ancient Sumerian. That function you wrote two weeks ago? No idea what it does. That design pattern you were so proud of? Completely foreign. Your muscle memory has been factory reset and you're back to Googling "how to reverse a string" like it's day one of bootcamp. The knowledge decay is real and it's exponential.
