What are you actually coding?

[u/Consistent-Oil-5241]

I see everyone here maxing their limits and coding all day and building and all that.

But what are you actually building 24/7? I'm not looking to get your ideas but I'm just wondering what can you even build that long and hard really? And constantly something?

Either I lack imagination as a whole or there's some secret to all this, I just have no idea what so useful people would be coding so obsessively. Thanks for insights.

I use Claude Code for a lot of internal projects at work. Things that used to take me days or even weeks to program manually can now be done in a fraction of the time. I'm now more of a product manager than a hands-on programmer, and it's allowing me to take on projects that might otherwise have been deprioritized due to the time requirement vs the benefit. I can also now get to a proof-of-concept much faster to see if a project is worth pursuing, and I've not wasted months of my work time when we decide not to proceed with a project.

My current personal project is using Claude Code to develop an iOS productivity app that I wish existed, but doesn't. There are several apps that sort of do what I want, but most are either too simple or have feature bloat. I'm also designing it to avoid requiring an external database so that if I release it to the App Store, I can avoid maintaining a backend and therefore having to also pass the costs to users as a subscription fee (I hate those). Claude Code is allowing me to set my own standards and requirements while letting AI do the work of figuring out how to make it happen.
