How it worked

The format

No lectures. No slides. Just building.

1

Pick your problem - what wastes your time at work?

2

Define it in one sentence - who has this problem and why it hurts

3

Build with Claude Code - describe what you want, iterate fast

4

Demo it live - 3 minutes, show it working, tell the story

The secret

You don't need to code

You need to describe. Claude Code turns plain English into working software.

"comment"># This is all it takes
claude
"comment"># Then just talk to it
"Build me a tool that takes a client meeting summary
and generates a follow-up email in our tone of voice.
Include next steps and a subject line."
