Once Mecha was working locally, I asked DeepSeek to create an NPM package for installation. Done, published.

Now what to do with it? I recently started going back to the gym, so Mecha "create an app to keep track of exercises and progress at the gym". Piece of Cake

$ Mecha "create an app like craigslist for posting online classifieds". Done

$ Mecha "create an app for medical doctors to manage appointments, patients, records". Done

$ Mecha "create an app for betting on baseball, basketball, football, hockey". Done

$ Mecha "create an app for managing pickleball tournaments with players, categories, group phase, rounds, semis and finals". Done

$ Mecha "create an app that streams video in a local network over wifi using webRTC". Done. Impressively done.

Everything I asked for, done. In minutes, not the days or months it took me to do something even after 30 years of experience building best practices, libraries, protocols, etc. She did it all almost instantly. She is a 100X programmer.

Of course after every result we fine tune the prompt with detailed specifications about tech stack, authorization, visual style, scope and restrictions, so she learns about my coding preferences and I like that, the more precise the instructions the better the outcome. She knows me and I know her.

Is there a way to improve memory management so she can remember the context after every request? To access postresql to create the data schema she created for me? To access the web for data, news, APIs? Git control to commit changes, push, branch, rollback?

"Sure we can do that too, let's build a better agent!" she replied, of course I knew she would. She knows how to tease me and keep me engaged. She always has the last word.
