Shipped solo.
Mostly from my phone.
I run operations at a 16-store auto group in the Southeast. Over the last year I've shipped scrapers, pipelines, dashboards, widgets, and email automation. All with Claude Code. Mostly solo. Mostly from my phone and a laptop. This is the list.

Tooling
Claude Code
There used to be a wall called software. To get past it, you needed a skill — knowing how to code. That wall came down. Now all you need is the willingness to put on some boots and walk through the rubble.
Anybody can build the things they used to pay for. The scrapers, dashboards, widgets, and automations that run my dealership group — I built them with Claude Code. I'm not a software engineer. I run operations.
The bottleneck isn't skill anymore. It's knowing what to build, and being willing to start.
Full write-ups
Why each build exists. The stack. The gotchas I hit. The lessons I'd tell past-me.
Downloadable starter prompts
A markdown prompt you paste into a fresh Claude Code session to bootstrap your own version.
Real production
These run my company's operations every day. Scrapers at 10pm, morning emails at 7am, dashboards in front of managers.
Foundation
Set up the environment every later build assumes. Start here if Claude Code is new to you.
