9 months ago I couldn’t write a line of code. Today: 7 production SaaS shipped. Real Stripe payments. Real users.
I want to be honest about what this actually was, because the “vibe coding” hype online makes it sound easier than it is.
The tools are real. Claude Code is a different planet. But the gap between “I built something that works on my laptop” and “I built something that 100 paying users can rely on” is huge, and AI doesn’t close that gap for you. You close it by shipping, breaking things, and learning what production actually demands.
I broke a lot of things. Quietly. In test mode. Now I help other founders skip those exact mistakes.
Building for clients on Contra now. Happy to answer questions if anyone’s starting this path.
