I've literally built the entire MVP of my startup on Claude Code and now have paying customers. I've got an existential worry that I'm going to have a SEV incident that will trigger a house of falling cards, but until then I'm constantly leveraging Claude for fixing security vulnerabilities, implementing test-driven-development, and planning out the software architecture in accordance with my long-term product roadmap. I hope this story becomes more and more common as time passes.

Well, don't be shy, share what CC helped you build.

Answered above, but to be concrete on features --> it helped me build an end-to-end multi-stage pipeline architecture for video and audio transcription, LLM analysis, content generation, and evals. It took care of stuff like Postgres storage and pgvector for RAG-powered semantic search, background job orchestration with intelligent retry logic, Celery workers for background jobs, and MCP connectors.

We get it; it helped you build a bunch of stuff. Why not just post your company?

We're in the govtech x AI space (building software for local governments and government-adjacent customers). I don't feel comfortable linking my direct startup yet - it serves me no benefit here (I just get judged by a bunch of angry programmers) and we're in the middle of fundraising with investors.

Then why bring it up in the first place if you’re not even willing to show one shred of evidence of your vibe coding output, even a link to you companies landing page?
