I am sure you can still code, but there is no question that there are certain small bits that you no longer remember as well (or at all) as just 6 months ago.
I believe - but cannot prove - that the atrophy follows an S curve (decreasing with time), so that in the beginning not much happens but with time the rate of forgetting things increases.
There's a difference between forgetting the minutiae and still having the skills.
One doesn't forget how to learn. It's just that you've switched to learning something else.
