Helped: One-shot success for bash/python scripts and one-liners.

Got in the way: Over 90% of job doesn't need throw-away scripts.

I have general one-shot success asking chatgpt to make bash/python scripts and one-liners where otherwise it would take 1hr to a day to figure out on my own (and I'd use one of my main languages maybe) or I might not even bother trying, which is great for productivity but also over 90% of my job doesn't need throw-away scripts and one-liners.
