It would definitely go faster based on a few things. One being that these models are continually improving - an ungodly amount of time was spent trying to connect the dots between what I was seeing and what the agent was seeing/understanding.
But aside from that, I would still say yes. I've learned a lot (it's just hard to put into words when I'm missing some of the technical language) and I've gained so much confidence in even dealing with code.
I've actually started doing some work for someone after they saw my site on Reddit, which I could never have done before. It involves Docker, a bit of Python, and working on a codebase with multiple contributors. It's both exciting and terrifying at the same time.
