Astra used to build a Photoshop alternative for about $2,000 in tokens
A post describes building a Photoshop-like app with GPT-6 Astra for roughly $2,000 in tokens, with Astra planning the build and using Computer Use to find bugs, Codex fixing a production bug in about five minutes, and 170 active users on day one.
I'm think Software is officially dead My bro basically vibe coded Photoshop using GPT-6 Astra Insane part: > ~$2,000 worth of AI tokens > Astra figured out Photoshop's feature set > Astra planned the entire build > He reviewed the plan + gave feedback > AI built a functional first version > Then: Test → Find bugs → Tell AI → Fix → Repeat > Astra even used Computer Use to find bugs in the app itself > Launched it and got 170 active users ON THE FIRST DAY > A production bug appeared, and Codex fixed + deployed it in ~5 minutes > Then came Windows, macOS, and Linux support From: "I wish this software existed" To: "Fine, I'll just build it myself" What happens to software companies when AI gets 10x better at this?
