What I have done with Claude Code in the last 60 days being a non tech person

7•sahiltll•4d ago
I am a non tech person. Currently working as Product Marketing in a Series B startup.

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.

Forgot to add - built a mobile app also - that never went public. Because I have no bandwidth after 2 side hustle and full time job.

Fyi - I used to get scared while seeing terminal interface 3 months back.

Its not above being "Technical" but what kind of business probs you have experience with/deal with day to day. That decides what ceilings are. If you spend your whole day working on cockpit software or a telco stack or power plant scada system market of who you sell your stuff too/what problems you are exposed to is niche.

domain expertise is always necessary

>then what's the ceiling for people who are Technical.

The fact that everybody else will be doing the same, and thus making any advantage of using AI moot.

yessss
greenoracle9•3d ago
the next step should be unifying ai + human. but how? i don't know.
sahiltll•3d ago
In what sense?

How do you handle code versioning, Deployment and Infrastructure as a non technical person ?
BjoernKW•3d ago
Engineers are prone to overcomplicating matters.

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.

While building I also create documentation in parallel. and md file in parallel also. like

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.

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.

sahiltll•3d ago
I agree. but there is another aspect of this.

I am thinking in terms of productivity increase of a tech person compared to before AI.

This resonates. Built ZeroDrop in 2 days, spent 2 weeks on distribution and hit every wall — HN karma, Reddit ban, Stripe India restriction.

The building part was the easy part. The distribution not so much.

Really really impressive work. I love the branding on thelatexlab
sahiltll•3d ago
Thanks a lot for the compliments. You mentioned that you liked TheLaTeXLab branding - specifically what do you like? I mean is it logo or our positioning?
leros•3d ago
How have you made money?
sahiltll•1d ago
By providing word to latex conversion service via https://thelatexlab.com/ and also by getting paid for building custom theme for the other two businesses.
agcat•2d ago
That's amazing.

Are you also building workflows, products that could be useful at your work?
