Not 90%, it’s writing 300% of my code. I am an entirely different engineer with an AI agent collaborating with me. I solve harder problems faster, prototype more ideas, work in any part of the codebase whether I own it or not.

Since this seems like it will be a long-term thing, I added some unit/e2e tests, and set up a GitHub action to auto-deploy any new commits on the main branch to chadsmith.dev.
I remember when excalidraw was first announced like this, and it has grown tremendously since. Looking forward to editing videos on my Linux machine with this in a few months.
