Me with powershell. I'll write a pretty complex script, not write powershell for 3 months, come back and have to completely relearn it.

I don’t write very small shell scripts because I am not a job destroyer.

Mastered as in I could teach it to others, and assemble many complicated rules for many complicated patterns.

I am always impressed with folks that retain it.

I would a ton of it for a month or two, and then do nothing with it again for more than a year or more.

It takes a lot for permanent burn-in for me. That's the curse. The blessing is that I learn very quickly.
