A former physicist at our organization wrote a tool t convert a diagram into an algorithm in a domain specific language.

He made it to make his own life easier, and never considered any best practices, everything was a thousands of lines of jupyter notebook, it was not modular, painful to customize but just got the work done, and was kinda a black box in way the way it generated the outputs.

Since then we've tried to re-write it with good programming principles, but still we were not able to re-create what he did. So yah sometimes done is better than perfect.
