No it isn't

You have no way to confirm someone really is a DIY'er. For all you
know he's screwing with someone else's system. You also have no way to
tell if that person is competent to program anything or if he's still
under contract. In other words you know nothing about him or even if
it is a "him"

Openly guiding a person like this through anything borders on stupid
