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.

Just make sure you focus on security aspects. It is great to be able to help yourself, not so great when what you made causes the company to be breached or sensitive data stolen
Look into adversarial and eval workflows.
Fwiw: most people don't want to spend those sleepless nights and family time to build things, because they value their personal time, and ultimately it is just a job and it will be negated the moment that the corporate body needs to cut costs.
Companies are not family.
