Ask HN: How do I return to the industry after a two-year sabbatical?

I took off two years to travel around the world. I learned so much from visiting every continent and meeting people from all walks of life.

I truly am a different person now, and I think I learned so much about life to help me be a better person.

However, I didn't do much coding or software work in that time.

I couldn't pass a leet coding interview if my life depended on it. I'm very out of practice and out of the loop.

What should I put on my resume? What should I try to learn or do to get back to work? Now seems like it is the worst time ever to go back. Is my career in big trouble?

I mostly did frontend work (angular) with some node or python backend work.
