I am an engineer, but not a software engineer. I write python sometimes to help me do engineer-y things in my domain but I am absolutely not very fluent, just enough to get by. chatGPT often transforms a frustrating multi-hour stack overflow session into a 5 minute query.

The result is definitely not something you'd want to maintain and probably has built in inefficiencies and edge cases I don't know about but it did it's job, which was to do the thing I wanted it to do so I can go on with my work.
