What I have done with Claude Code in the last 60 days being a non tech person

#1
I am a non tech person. Currently working as Product Marketing in a Series B startup.

I am a Non Tech person.

What I have built:-

- Custom wordpress theme live on - https://thelatexlab.com, page speed score is 95+.

- Project Tracking micro SaaS using Next.js, Supabase, Vercel, Posthog, Google Auth - used by 45 Users

-

- Made Two more custom wordpress theme for other businessess.

- Made $4K in last 2 months.

I am just mind blown if a non tech person like me can do this much then what's the ceiling for people who are Technical.

And what it will be in next 1-2 years.

Excited and scared both.

Its not above being "Technical" but what kind of business probs you have experience with/deal with day to day. That decides what ceilings are. If you spend your whole day working on cockpit software or a telco stack or power plant scada system market of who you sell your stuff too/what problems you are exposed to is niche.

Slight irrelevant because when it comes to business, the most important part is finding customers and selling to them. Tech people focus too much on product development and neglect sales.

How do you handle code versioning, Deployment and Infrastructure as a non technical person ?

Engineers are prone to overcomplicating matters.

Pieter Levels famously runs Nomad List as vanilla PHP application on a single Linux server, while people keeps insisting you need a fault-tolerant, multi-region cloud setup and the modern stack-du-jour to provide such an application.

I agree. but there is another aspect of this.

I am thinking in terms of productivity increase of a tech person compared to before AI.
