Yeah, I've been in a similar situation. One ugly side about being a developer I find is that if I stay away from the practice of coding for even like 3 or 4 months I feel rusty or I feel like you've missed out on a lot. I remember when I took off 4 months and then started doubting my moves. The time I took off was restful, for sure, but the insecurity I felt was extreme. It took me another 3 months to get my groove back and just feel like, "no, you know what? I'm a decent programmer and I have earned the right to be here with the other devs. I'll catch up in my knowledge gap." I always wondered how female programmers who go on mat leave cope with stepping away from it all for like a year.
