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.

I generally work as openly as possible on github, and I am deliberately avoiding manual coding for a while to try to learn these (infuriating/wonderful) tools more thoroughly.

Unfortunately I can't always share all of my work, but everything on github after perhaps 2025-06-01 is as vibe-coded as I can get it to be. (I manually review commits before they're pushed, and PRs once in a complete state, but I always feed those reviews back into the tooling, not fix them manually, unless I get completely fed up.)

Everyone wants to see your very profitable startup, it’s simply free advertising. Why not share it?

I definitely don't have a very profitable startup. I'm simply a working programmer trying to learn new tools.
