Or worse, you've filled your head with different tech and now you need to rehash and brush up on stuff you learned prior but swept under the rug for new stuff. It's a strange sensation. Naturally you just go with the median of whatever your company you work for is doing - then find yourself in this situation where it's "been a while" since you worked on CSS. Or it might take you a weekend of study to bring back those Python dataclass skills.
