My software isn't the same. I recently built a Swift app: the screenshot annotation app of my dreams. I don't know Swift at all and that's fine because I saw 0 code during the build process.
And yet... the app works efficiently, has features like shape-smoothing for hand-drawn freeform annotations (that I couldn't have built myself), is designed far more beautifully than I could have done it even after a decade of studying UI/UX, etc
AI solved coding... mostly. At least for indie devs.
