The project that would take months got done in a weekend, per the author's own direct estimate. I've experienced the same - contributing a very large PR to a golang project (without knowing or having worked with the language prior). I did it because I could talk through abstractions, be willing to down dead ends (1:3 ratio for every meaningful feature), and be OK with the fun of redoing. Once you are able to do this, you literally become a 10X engineer when measured by working output. If this process of trying and discarding 2 out of every 3 approaches sounds distasteful, you will not truly discover the deeper joys of working with the SOTA LLMs.
