[raises hand] I’ve used MatLab instead of Photoshop, I guess.

Seriously though, as an amateur photographer, working on a new engine instead of just adding more gen AI features to every pixel sounds like a good move. I’ll be sticking with my buy-once option, either way.

As a developer I also found this interesting:

Can make steady progress even when a problem is ambiguous or not fully prioritized yet

That’s a super important skill a lot of people don’t even want to develop.
