I have. Working in legacy code of a language I'm not familiar with (pascal) writing installer scripts with inno setup (pascal, again). "Write me a function to find the installer subkeys for an application by DisplayName and Product name for both 64bit and 32bit applications in pascal." Done.
Not something I relished spending days on. Instead I spent thirty seconds and our customers are getting a major update shipped a hell of a lot faster and I can get back to bigger things.
I had it write me a handful of sticky functions. The thought of using a search engine for all of that brought tears to my eyes.
Just searching simple things anymore is gut wrenching.
