To me, it sounds like you need professional experience on your resume so that should be your goal. However, professional experience != a full time software engineer role. Can you find something really small that pays from a freelance site? Maybe it's just a python script that takes 4 hours and pays $10 - but with that you are a professional software engineer. Do you anyone who owns a website for a business? Ask them if you can do some really basic work for $1 - because if you do that, you're a professional software engineer.
Once you have some professional experience on your resume, it should get a little easier - it's still going to take some time and grit, but it should work out.
I have access to the model via the web client and it does show the thought process along the way. It shows a little icon that says things like "Examining parser logic", "Understanding data structures"...

Does this mean that, theoretically, this could lead to the ability to build MacOS apps in higher languages that interoperate well with C such as Python? I know you can build MacOS apps with Python now, but does this potentially improve the experience?
