You get used to it. Just approach it every time as “learning a new stack” and those old muscle memories will come back automagically.

Knowing how you got to Z from A is valuable knowledge too. Not just in changes to the old stack that is now new again, but to your own knowledge and journey.

It’s ok to not be the smartest person in the room. It’s ok to admit that you need ramp up. What’s not ok is to go around claiming to be an expert and spout inaccurate facts so you’re already one step closer to being awesome in stack A again.
