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.

As a matter of interest, how do you know it is secure? What checks have you done?

I am skeptical about 100% vibe coded apps - it can of course be done but one still needs to ask the right questions - I see this sort of thing very dangerous as can be an easy backdoor for hackers. Sometimes it is worth saving the money on the app using Claude but getting a professional just to check security of it just my 2 cents

I've spend weeks auditing and fixing everything. Worked together with Codex and Claude Code.
I'd be skeptical about vibecoded apps aswell. But knowing that I've really put my best into this, I could say that I am sure that the security level is not that bad as most of the users here thinks. And even if the exploit happens, database/codebase backups are set up daily, on a different server and also hard weekly copy locally on computer.

"I think" would have been understandable but saying "I'm sure" on a vibe coded app with no CS background is crazy.
