> image processing and resampling/resizing C++ code I hadn't touched in 12 years or so.

So an unimportant, personal project. People seem to extrapolate being able to do something cool into being able to do useful work, which is what this whole discussion is about.

It's an example of useful work. 11 years ago, I would have been able to use that code in production for the company I worked at at the time, and the conversion would have been very useful.

I'm also using Github Copilot at work, but I can't as easily talk about what I'm doing there.

What do you consider useful work?
