ChatGPT, but close! You're right, I likely wouldn't have approached the project if I had to write it all by hand. But it was fairly easy with AI, and I was impressed with the results. The days of personalized software are here. I built it exactly to my spec - similar to Adobe suite, and with built in MCP support.

I completely agree. I have a great piece of hardware, which missed a TUI tool for control. Since the api was well documented I gave it to codex and it did also a great job. A few days ago I read a great post here which stated: That tis is the age of re-owning our hardware. Well said.
