How I accidentally built a production tool with Amazon Q and stubbornness

I am not a developer. I want to be upfront about that. During my bachelor's degree I took a few courses in C, C++ and Java. I understood enough to pass. Later in my career I did some self-study in Python and Terraform, enough to read code, follow what it does and occasionally hack something together.
