Let me know who I missed guys and save it for future
Google Cloud AI engineer just showed how they go from idea to deployed app at Google in 30-minutes using Claude.
26-minutes. free. by Google AI team.
one person + Claude + Google Cloud = a full engineering org running on a laptop.
worth more than any $500 vibe-coding course.
