Expand that into 10k line custom programs and you'll begin having nightmarish issues.

That might be the underlying problem. Software project management around small projects is easy. Anything that has a basic text editor and a Python interpreter will do. We have all these fancy tools because shit gets complicated. Hell, I don't even like writing 100 lines without git.

A bunch of non-programmers make a few basic apps with ChatGPT and think we're all cooked.

No doubt, I was merely suggesting that throwing math problems might not have been the intended use for what is essentially a language interpreter, obviously depending on the in question.
