I point chatgpt at the general problem and ask about the tech. Check it's answers, drill into specifics. As more questions, get it to write a prototype. (obviously with different parameters to prod- I don't trust open ai not to harvest from my interactions)- ok, now I have proof of concept, if it does the thing I want to do, then go to the engineers and say - hey I want to "X", here is RFC and rough code, .. any problems? if not, how long to push a localised version?
I guess you might call this scripting or prototyping not "real coding" but, damn it's useful not have to fill my head with python etc. Or bore/waste a guy earning 150k for a half day plus to get the basics, then never get my prototype.. because, priority, resources, etc
