Having had a chance to read more of the blog now, maybe the most pleasing part is your similar discovery of, "I'm writing my own kinematics, and generating plots of it is the fastest validation of that code". I did similar matplotlib plots of my quad (spider) leg movements years ago. Definitely need to do more of that when I finally revisit the software on my mech from 2019 with AI help :).

And more generally, yeah, having the AI manage some of those plotting needs will be fantastic in other work too; I enjoy figuring out what to plot, and don't mind wrangling and hand-refactoring said scripts... but it's so time consuming historically, and there's always the itch to urgency to get back to the "main code". (at least I learned to gradually convince peers that often plot scripts should be commitable without being polished; they're a form of documentation sometimes!)
