I sometimes work in a co-working space, there's an (I think) architect sitting there who does a lot of 3D/modelling stuff. From what I've heard it involves python/c++ for creating and rendering his models. He knows the math, and he really doesn't care about maintainability: Either it looks good to him, or it doesn't.

For him, ChatGPT and similar stuff works great. And I can totally see why. But for maintaining a full-time complex codebase where the code is less about 'make it work' but rather about 'make someone in five years understand what and why things are happening' it still seems like a no-go.
