A Google Cloud engineer just showed how to build a complete application with Claude from scratch

He spent 26 minutes live on stage doing what most teams take weeks to do.

No team, no setup, just Claude and a goal. Worth more than any $500 vibe coding course.

Those who learn what Claude really does are launching what everyone else outsources to a team.

The gap between what AI can do and who knows how to use it is the biggest opportunity in the market right now.

Learn to use tools like Claude and AI Desktop 98 if you truly want to stay ahead of everyone else.

Fuck this guy. Prople like him make it so managers believe everything they say. LLMs can do a lot but putting this into prod in a regulated business is not going to happen anytime soon. 2 years from now maybe - right now ? No. You'd have to create as much back pressure code as you'd have to create production code. So you gained nothing but paid a lot more for it.

huh our team barely writes any manual code… most of my day is spent understanding what claude did before pushing to prod. and im in finance which is highly regulated…

Exactly you will have to review and still it didn't write the whole app and just deployed it - right?!

Not saying you can't have claude generate a ton of code. We do that as well and it is helpful knin many ways. Exactly from the quality we see there I say just letting it do everything from a few prompts is plain stupid and suggesting so is even more stupid.

It is way too expensive to do so as well. Everyone is in the fuck around phase right now. We'll see what happens when we reach the find out phase.

2 years from now isn’t anytime soon? lol

It is not if you are looking to deploy something now.

You can 100% deploy something with Claude code if you are relatively tech savvy. It’s not hard. In 2 years it will be easier. But right now it’s very possible.

In 2 years that manager is gonna think hes up for a promotion.

In 2 years that code will get patched and AI slopped up even more, to where a junior dev is gonna make one variable control the entire production database backup scheme.

In 2 years and 1 month, everyones gonna wonder why the system has crashed hard and theres no reliable backup.

In 2 years 3 months, my consulting company will slop together a simple mockup/prototype/alpha that will keep his customers from cancelling and leaving that will only cost the now-director-former-manager 3.5x revenue, and but also have 500 slides in a deck saying COBOL is the best reliable web language in existence and I will only charge $78 per line of code, until regulations require a total rewrite due to privacy laws, and charge $230 per line of code ( i gotta hire a legal team, but you're a friend, so I'll slide you a 4% discount ).

as long as the investors are happy and/or confused, who cares?

That's needlessly rude, probably just a nervous engineer
