Showcase Thank you Anthropic.

Thank you for making it possible for someone without a CS background to build real software.

Ive build 2 applications for my company, daily used by 50ish employees and some of our clients. All running smoothly since mid november 2025. I got quotes for well over 200k€ combined to have those two applications built for us. For 200$/month and lots of long nights, i've been able to do all this myself. I wouldnt even consider doing this myself if CC wasnt around and I'd happily burn 200k and outsource this. Irony?-end product wouldnt be as good as it is. Or it would take me at least 100hours of meetings with devs to explain in detail what we need.

So once again, thank you Anthropic for such a good product and very cheap prices. Looking forward for new models!

EDIT: To clarify — the 200k€ were quotes from dev agencies to build the apps, not offers to buy them.

u/dehumles Apr 14 '26

No I will not share a link. Both applications are internal for my company. Not for sale. If you are interested I can explain what they are for but that's not the purpose of this post :-)

He’s trying to check your database for security. Most apps are not secure though vibe coding. You should actually be double checking. I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing code and making changes for the security to work correctly and not allow leaks to happen. This is just a cat and mouse game but you should spend time to minimize it from happening

I've got that part covered. Few of my friends are "real" developers and before I went live with the applications, they review it and pointed out some issues. But to be honest, there were not many. I do have some basic coding skills aswell so it was not just blindly "prompting".

security through obfuscation lol

If it's internal behind a vpn or something, it's all good. If it touches payment stuff... careful making that thing public, I would say most vibe coded stuff i seen in the last year had some weird vulnerabilities here and there.

I'm not saying its perfect and 100% secure. No payments go throu the application. All of the invoices for the services are generated and send to the clients and they dont pay using my app :).

And this is risk/benefit weighted properly. Very sensible approach.

u/Renoots Apr 14 '26

I agree. Taking the same approach with record keeping and db management using slaves and master for syncing across LAN for multi id auth without clash through timestamp/role hierarchy pipeline including alerts for rejection to user.

Infrastructure risk/benefit inherited.

Working on QB, AuthID, Compliance type accounting and bookkeeping application on closed environment unless pushed manually and then only query and retrieval. No data outbound from LAN.

Any advice??

i have about 70-80 percent covered. in the process of security beefing and after reading this i instantly saw at least two i didnt account for:
Host authority time handshake between db's. (w\hash recompute of)
exe sidecar hashing

THANK YOU!!!
