Just interested in peoples thoughts. It's been a long term ambition of mine, but now I'm now wondering if it will just be a waste of time.

I will probably never really need an in depth understanding of algorithms given I can just prompt "make this efficient". But if you don't understand them, how do you know the LLM is doing the best it can?
