I was not born as a SDE

Before I was a software dev at chase, I was a research scientist in a biotech company, and even before that, I was a chemistry majored college student. I was never a top researcher but I'm good at finding tools to make my life easier. Just to give you some example of what kind of niche software I've found. I've found calculator for Schrödinger equation, propagation of uncertainty, or just a simple tool to draw organic chemical structure (in case you don't recall your high school chem, it's those letters connect by sticks thingy). As I was dig it though, I found some were running, and some are not. Event with the github open-sourced linked the footer, back then I would have no way fixing it. The source code might as well like astrological tome for me.

If AI can go back in time, it'll help the non-SDE me

Looking back ot it, most of the time a tool is broken is because of some deprecate packages. Fixing it don't really take much intelligent but do require a lot for knowledge on which replacement package to use plus a lot of tedious work to iron out the different parameter. But now our basic AI might not have the best intellectual, but it's extreme knowledgeable and diligent, which is perfect on this type of task.
