@alvinsng showcases Factory's Desktop app (June 10, 2026), arguing the future of development removes the need to view code. He shares a throwback demo of a Factory 'Mission' that, from one prompt, performs hundreds of file touches—positioning Missions as an automated, prompt-driven alternative to editing in editors like VSCode.
