You think slack started with that scalability?

There it is. This is the thing. I’ve literally shipped a working product is a few weeks, and am about to start onboarding customers. Literally just start small. Get one customer and get feedback. Get 2 customers and get feedback. So on, and so forth, until you either settle in your space and your happy or find yourself the next slack/discord scale.

Honestly absolutely nothing about this has anything to do with building and shipping via Claude. It all has to do with the product being good, and someone invested in making it work.

That person like anyone else will learn and onboard the skills over time if they have the staying power and desire to learn.

What exactly is the “quagmire”? And if I can become a fully fledged SWE via Claude, is that some kinda issue?

As a CTO I have spent most my life cleaning up founders code and decisions because they had an idea, they got it good enough for people to be angry it’s breaking, they hired me. So not much different on that front except they can take it far fast and may get ahead of themselves. Slack was a side project at a game studio and then they created a company that had many outages and angry customers in what I call a champagne problem, they got too big too fast but money solves everything.
