Claude Code one-shotted my prototype and reignited my love of building

Working with ClaudeCode on a slick project and it is reinvigorating my love of building software.

After a lot of prep on the spec (Claude generates Mermaid diagrams for me! 💜), I asked it to spin up a parred down prototype of an agentic AI online research app (I'll share specifics later). One shot- working prototype.

Full app will be broken down further and babysat more, I mostly just wanted to take ClaudeCode for a spin and see what it could do. Weee!

Back to proper software development practices, back to leveraging my highest value strategic skills in my work, now with cutting edge tools after spending months working with a joke of an antiquated CRM. I honestly really needed this.

And things are going really well with Codality, so looks like I can keep living the dream for awhile. 😁

She specializes in the hard problems: unique operational workflows, cross-system integrations, and the kind of compliance requirements (HIPAA, CCPA, SOC 2) that most developers treat as someone else's job.

At Codality, she leads every principal engagement from discovery through delivery — because she's seen what happens when that thread gets cut.
