Meh. There's a saying in my field: "anyone can build a bridge, only an engineer can make one that barely doesn't fall down".

Humorously reductive as it is, software is what makes that "barely" thinner than human calculation would normally yield. So... Yeah. Not what I'd call a pinnacle.

Did you look at the book I linked?

No cuz, the link doesn't properly load 😂

E: try searching for just the ASIN: B07X66DCLM and note that I'm using the one you provided!

Ahh. It’s a boutique link that points to Amazon Digital Purchase of Rick Astleys Never Gonna Give You Up.

E.g. my post was a red herring
