I got the AI to code the calendar bookmark I could not write myself

He used AI one time to code a JavaScript bookmark that opens Google Calendar to a 7-day view starting on the most recent Monday. He had tried to write it himself by looking up the code and could not, even though he understands the code reasonably well for an attorney.

How it works

  1. Tries to write the bookmark himself by looking up code
  2. Cannot do it
  3. Uses the AI to code a JavaScript bookmark that opens Google Calendar to a 7-day view starting on the most recent Monday

Why it’s worth knowing

He is an attorney, not a coder, and one AI session got him a calendar tool he had failed to write by hand.
