Can a programmer be destroyed through lack of programming?
Speaking from experience, a programmer is not destroyed through lack of programming. You get incredibly rusty, morale decreases, and it takes time to get back in the groove, but a programmer is not destroyed in this manner. In fact, I would say it makes you stronger because you never ever want to be in that situation again.
Can knowledge fade away in a month or two?
That is the other level, which is more short term knowledge, and it can indeed fade away fairly quickly (although IMHO not in a month – you would need several months to notice the difference). Note though that these things often have a shorter half-life anyway – APIs change, preferred language idioms get obsolete and new ways come along, etc.
Is it possible to forget how to program a guitar?
