Helped: Language-related tasks

Got in the way: Writing code for legacy systems and internal libraries

… I do and ChatGPT code is rarely useful for me. I can prompt it well enough to do language related stuff for me, but the code it can write for me is more like a highly custom boilerplate that I still need to refactor. Even for green field private projects, at first it looks fine, bit the bugs are more likely to be traced back to these snippets than not.
