She's basically building parts of an operating system. Right now the OS doesn't have processes and that's what she's tasked with building.
ChatGPT convinced her to open Nano even though she has VSCode set up. Ok, I can kind of approve because vim>vs-code and nano on way to vim. But now she can't exit nano. Bish can't exit nano. Is tasked with writing an OS.
With DEI falling out of favor these colleges need to be honest with women and get them out of tech. There isn't going to be a job for them. Women who pussy pass their way into a high level CS course without learning anything ever along the whole thing are going to be the first argument for AI replacing humans.
If HR won't let you hire only chad male programmers who figured this stuff out in middle school because they love understanding how things work without also hiring women who code feminists who I've seen fail to understand indentation in python despite having been hired for years as a "developer," then there is a simple solution. Hire no humans.
Or at least hire only so many humans that you fall under DEI pressures. 3 x10 developers + AI exposes you to less total suck then hiring 100 developers with 10% of them being women, even if AI remains faulty.
Humans only suck at their job if you let humans who suck at their job continue working them. Otherwise humans are great at their job and there is no need to replace them with AI.
I think AI is going to happen either way but we will build it into the thing we need, or at least the thing elites need. If humans are good at their job and don't need replacement then AI will be developed into an accelerant to make people even more effective. But if managers and C-levels only see teams of people as piles of suck then they will invest in anything that even has a chance at sucking less, in even a chance they are picking a right lane others won't get to before them. That means research into full automation. If you pour investment into research it almost doesn't matter what it is, it ends up working eventually. Enough money + enough research = thing you want, 90% of the time.
So if teams of human workers continue to be composed of sucky humans, then teams will suck, and human teams will be replaced once enough research has made it possible.
But if you remove the incentive it could be something we never put the research into. The C-level made a problem for themselves by buying in on "ethical" hiring practices that aren't even ethical and they are solving their way out of it by throwing every worker under the bus. When a man lies he murders some part of the world. When we lied to ourselves about giving certain groups of people favoritism as being ethical we murdered our jobs.
Any time you help someone with a specific problem that is part of a systemic problem without addressing the systemic problem, you run the risk of them hitting you up for more symptom-level help again and again. It sounds like this girl lacks some fundamental capacity rather than just being snagged on a one-off problem. Some people love having others depend on them, some don't mind it; I hate it, so if I were you I'd make an excuse and decline.

People usually will get promoted to their threshold of incompetency. Few jobs besides government and corporate news excel beyond plausible deniability.
Unfortunately the latter.
Sounds like no good news without a solar flare.
Unfortunately I live in a government area. Dressing up nice is seen as a more important skill than practical knowledge of anything you are doing. Practical knowledge of what you're doing seems to mean fuck all. Actual skills startups interested in you but that means options not pay. 90% of hirers around hear just want someone to fill a seat and the more useless you are seemingly the better.
Maybe I need to move out to Cali.
Despite many issues, I liked Cali 20 years ago. Without going there I can't say for sure but now it seems crazy. Of course it depends on where you go, what you do, with who, and how much money/freedom you have. Uprooting everything, including your social safety networks, is dramatic and potentially precarious.
Ultimately it's a matter of picking your favourite flavour of nightmare.
