Python, Node.js, React, HTML, vanilla JS.

My job is mainly Python back-end, my personal business is the JS stack.

For my job for example I had to write a program to do an exponential back-off retry for a flaky 3rd party API, and it nailed it instantly with just a description of what I wanted.

I definitely believe that it might be good at some languages and bad at others (e.g. I think C++ is used a lot in coding competitions and lowkey wonder if something about that may have lead to degraded quality of code).

I like the multi-line thing, tbh I wish it did it more.

It's definitely not perfect but intuitively I'd say I'm at ~40% faster (even after correcting for bugs etc.).
