Some skills are easy re-pick-uppable, like bicycling. Mathematics is probably more challenging. Not sure about programming, especially "borint" business-like programming.

Nah.
After you have those skills, they don’t go away.
Math: the most important stuff is the biggest picture. If you learned it properly (not just memorizing), that’s the last to fade.
With programming, the details change but the fundamental skill doesn’t. Or hadn’t as of a few years ago.
There's a reason games like Factorio or Exapunks are so popular among engineers!
Especially if you get a little burned out and can't bring yourself to contribute to a side project, but still want to do programming-ish things that get your brain moving
