Have you tried to develop in a language or environment that you have 0 familiarity with? I find in those cases I'm up and running at least 3-4x as fast, cutting weeks off the learning curve.

Yes but did you actually learn it? Is watching a videotaped course from Berkeley about gauge theory the same as sitting in the class doing the homework, etc? I learn by doing. Do you know where the bugs are when CI fails or when something shows up in QA or worse, when a customer files a bug report? The hard part of programming never was generating boiler plate, it's designing programs with the context of the problem and preexisting code keeping in mind the customer and company goals. That's what good developers do in my opinion.
