You’re getting a lot of advice here, I’d just echo the sentiment of trying to give yourself permission to have fun.

In my experience the best way to learn is by doing; that “uncomfortable having gaps” is there for most folks to some degree. That mild discomfort is a good indicator that you are in the growth zone, maybe you can shift your perspective to perceive it as a positive signal.

AI is also great to ask questions and accelerate the process of learning a new language, but if you’re doing this for the craft then you are free to choose the constraints and rules that make it fun.
