Luckily it was a team of 1 and I wouldn't expect anyone else to understand my mess. The code generation was extra ugly since I planned to get rid of it eventually to craft out smaller details. It was great at doing repetitive work in bulk. Not sure if it was actually faster but at least it was less boring doing things that way.
