I once spent 6 months off sick with burnout - I got some woodworking done but didn't touch a keyboard for most of that period. Other times I've managed to recover in a month or two but I'm getting better at recognising the signs of burnout and take better care of myself these days.
As for the fundamentals of programming it's like riding a bike - you fall off a lot if you get too out of practice so go easy on yourself when you try to start back up.
Thank you for sharing your experience and encouragement, Ian.
While I stay away from a text editor right now, I still read coding posts (not technical ones) as I like to read people's thoughts and stories. I think it's safe to do it as long as it does not tire me out and actually enjoying it. Maybe it will help me to get back on the foot.
I hope you continue to stay healthy and prosperity!
