I had a couple of hours this morning so I created a collaborative slide editor. Oh sure, it's still very primitive, but I have bigger plans for it.

Is this a good thing? Yes, yes, it is." He provides examples of his own, but my own experience convinces me. I was looking at various products when I wondered, "well, what if I just code my own?" A bit of work with ChatGPT and there it is. I've replaced an estimated six weeks or work with a morning over coffee.
