    I told AI to create and editor just like Sublime (my editor for the last decade) and it did in less than 10 minutes. File tree, multi tabs, multi carets, syntax highlighting, code snippets, everything I need in an editor (except LSP for now, will be added in v2)

    I haven't used Sublime this week, it works as expected and I can't be happier

    Oh, and it cost only $2 to build using DeepSeek

    Then I told DeepSeek Harness to build a clone of itself in Swift, unbelievably it did!

    So, apps are in a downward spiral towards zero value, everybody can do their own. The real value is in market penetration and the race is going to be fierce
