I am a Non Tech person.
What I have built:-
- Custom wordpress theme live on - https://thelatexlab.com, page speed score is 95+.
- Project Tracking micro SaaS using Next.js, Supabase, Vercel, Posthog, Google Auth - used by 45 Users
-
- Made Two more custom wordpress theme for other businessess.
- Made $4K in last 2 months.
I am just mind blown if a non tech person like me can do this much then what's the ceiling for people who are Technical.
And what it will be in next 1-2 years.
Excited and scared both.
Slight irrelevant because when it comes to business, the most important part is finding customers and selling to them. Tech people focus too much on product development and neglect sales.
The building part was the easy part. The distribution not so much.
I am thinking in terms of productivity increase of a tech person compared to before AI.
Fyi - I used to get scared while seeing terminal interface 3 months back.
The fact that everybody else will be doing the same, and thus making any advantage of using AI moot.
Planning md - will have initial plan, goal, research, overview, tech stack.
Architecture md - will have all the architecture decision with reasons why we chose that.
each phase will have a separate documentation
all qa 1,2,3 will have md files noted everything.
deployement md, etc
I initally built these because - I can just change claude code to codex or new session anytime and giving access to the folder and it reads everything and can get updated on the current status.
Pieter Levels famously runs Nomad List as vanilla PHP application on a single Linux server, while people keeps insisting you need a fault-tolerant, multi-region cloud setup and the modern stack-du-jour to provide such an application.
