Commerce grad. Never learned to code. Now I ship apps with Claude Code.
Posting what happens after the AI builds it: users, login, money.

i never learned to code.

now claude code makes a 10-min animated youtube video for me, end to end: research, script, voice, ~290 coded drawings, render, upload, even the shorts.

my only job is the thumbnail. cost: about $0.30 a video.

posting the real numbers here from today.

@nikkuv5787 fair, that's the part i'm learning the hard way. v1 took an hour. making it survive real users (logins, edge cases, someone clicking the wrong thing) is taking weeks. what usually breaks first?

[Shuvam Sarkar @Shuvamsarkarr]

software engineers, honest question:
i'm a commerce grad. never learned to code. built a working app with claude code in an hour.
does that worry you, or do you know something i don't?

[Shuvam Sarkar @Shuvamsarkarr]

@suraj_sharma14 agreed. and the 3 month part matters as much as the amount: you can't borrow it for a week just to pass the check. plan it as runway you can't touch

@X4DX54 hey mark, 27 club 🌴 good to meet you. see you around the timeline

[Shuvam Sarkar @Shuvamsarkarr]

I'm 27. Commerce grad from Bangalore.

Never learned to code. Now I ship apps with Claude Code.

Looking to connect with people building with AI. Say hi.

@Nithin_Jawahar the windows laptop can't even fight back. it has to stay within one meter of its charger

[Shuvam Sarkar @Shuvamsarkarr]

@SubhadipShips A, D, C, B. sync code runs first, then promise callbacks, then timers. so setTimeout(0) really means "after everything else", not "now"

[Shuvam Sarkar @Shuvamsarkarr]

@kaiargus yep. compacting keeps the chatter and drops the rules. the note does the opposite. see you in the replies

[Shuvam Sarkar @Shuvamsarkarr]

@NotJust_Code you're ahead of most then, a lot of people only find out after hitting submit. good luck with the launch, post it when it's live

[Shuvam Sarkar @Shuvamsarkarr]

@suraj_sharma14 agreed. my test: if i can't explain the task in 3 lines, i'm not ready to prompt it. AI just shows you that faster than a coworker would

[Shuvam Sarkar @Shuvamsarkarr]

@SubhadipShips the comma always wins. every single time

[Shuvam Sarkar @Shuvamsarkarr]

@kaiargus the fix that works best for that: fresh session with a short handoff note (what's done, what's next, the rules that matter). beats fighting a full context every time

[Shuvam Sarkar @Shuvamsarkarr]

@NotJust_Code nice, almost there! heads up if it's a new personal play console account: google wants a closed test with 12 testers for 14 days before production. health apps also need the health declaration form, so start both early

[Shuvam Sarkar @Shuvamsarkarr]

@giadotai a livestream, a waitlist, and "rolling out to pro users over the coming weeks"

[Shuvam Sarkar @Shuvamsarkarr]

@cyrilXBT worth one check before keeping it: run the same task on default and on this setup, then compare /cost and the diff. on small repos the extra planning step can cost more than it saves

[Shuvam Sarkar @Shuvamsarkarr]

@kaiargus nice, that's useful work. most agent reviews are from the first 10 minutes. the real test is day 3 on a messy repo, when the context is full and it starts forgetting its own rules

[Shuvam Sarkar @Shuvamsarkarr]

@NotJust_Code hey mercy, good to meet you! mobile plus backend is a strong combo, you can ship the whole thing yourself. what kind of apps do you build mostly?

[Shuvam Sarkar @Shuvamsarkarr]

@yushbuilds hey ayush, followed back! good to meet you. what are you building right now?

[Shuvam Sarkar @Shuvamsarkarr]

@ndhabarde11 opus can write a plot, it just can't pick what you should feel. good story games start from one moment the dev wants you to feel and build toward it. most AI games start from the mechanic
