I’ve been programming a long time…

But between my not programming every day and it becoming less of my day job and now using LLMs for most of my day to day green field work, my coding skills have dropped dramatically.

I know that if I ever wanted to get another purer software development job, it would take months of practice. Luckily, I have a year’s expenses in savings outside of retirement to give me a runway to get interview ready if I lost my job.
