I only have very little concept for what temperature readings actually mean in terms of what technological progress is way too abstract to measure for me but im sure you'll make progress as long as youre applying yourself correctly even if it doesn't seem like much is changing for a while
Even myself, after I turned 23 or 24 I'd need to be mindful of when I ate the mushrooms last time they didn't do much for me, lsd still works and that i like how it works anyways so the difference is small
