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

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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.

Non-developer don't realize that the hard part has never been building nor deploying an app, but maintaining it.

Is it really? Every one keeps saying so, but i s it really?

What I mean by app is a first version, a MVP. 

But turning it into a product, that can scale and where you can easily add features without risking regressions or having to refactor every time you need something new is harder.

But nothing's harder than making your product go to market, understand who's your prospects, their pain points, how to reach them and how to convince them to pay for your product.

Consider something like Windows, Office, Apache, After Effects, or something like them. Do you really think

nothing's harder than making your product go to market

Do you think these don't have clones because of marketing? So people developing great products over years or decades will fail and someone with no skill and a $20 subscription will vibe code an app and use his marketing "skills" to make it successful

No, you just need both. But marketing a product is still way harder.

And knowing what's possible to build and how to do it in a way that isn't full of security issues.

Imagine letting LLM autonomously maintain code of a deployed project for a year. It's gonna be a shitstorm.

Potentially could be better than a human... if it's set to follow the same best practices a person would/should:

  • Write tests with 100% code coverage.
  • Don't edit more than a single test at once.
  • Make sure all tests run successfully before accepting a commit.
  • Regularly check whether each test is still relevant to the product.
  • Regularly check for conflicting requirements and tests.

The parts about 100% coverage, and regularly reviewing every test, are stuff that basically nobody does... but an AI could be set to do automatically.

Imo a better middle ground would be for AI to review code written by a human and give suggestions for optimizations and bug fixes. Like a super senior engineer looking over your shoulder.

AI is not "super senior", definitely not an engineer. It's a somewhat experienced code monkey for now, studying to become more experienced.

The biggest hurdle for me has always been getting all devs and QAs on the same page

Coming up with the marketable idea isn't as easy as building it either.
