    No, I don't think so. But my context is different as is anyone's reply about their LLM usage. I'm still creating software but with English that's compiled down to some other langua…

    Anecdotally I had Gemini convert a simple react native app to swift in two prompts. If it's that simple then maybe we will see less of the chromium desktop apps
