What is considered “original code” ? The code you are writing is probably not original and is built upon layers and layers of abstraction that eventually translated into 0s and 1s . AI or perhaps chatgpt20 could become another such abstraction layer .
Original code refers to the ability to solve a given automation problem without somebody writing that solution for you. That means no frameworks or plugins that solve that for you. The difference is someone who can provide a solution as opposed to copy/paste/configure glue code.
