Not even close. Someone without programming or domain knowledge would take at least a year (more likely two or three) to learn to do my job. Seasoned devs with domain knowledge typically take 3-6 months to become productive.
Make that five or more years for someone coming cold to do the jobs of a couple of my teammates.
