Given the changes to the industry over the years, I wouldn't be likely to go back into it as a profession, but I'd certainly regain the skills.

So, big-O, command line, control flow, data structures and algorithms, linear algebra, why floats are not real numbers, orders of magnitude in processing speed and data access speed. Probably by watching some online university lectures and perhaps messing with an emulator for some moderately old hardware.
Probably not an actual language, even, given what LLMs can do, just enough to follow as pseudocode.
But professionally? I'd do something else.
