In this candid monologue, the speaker recounts how, just two days ago, they asked the AI assistant Claude to build a website they had been trying to create since 2018. Previously, a human developer had quoted $15,000–$25,000 for the project, but Claude generated a functional prototype within a few hours, provided live previews, and guided the speaker through iterative edits. The speaker then followed Claude’s step‑by‑step instructions to deploy the site on GitHub and Railway, completing the process in roughly three hours. The narrative emphasizes the dramatic reduction in time, cost, and technical barrier, expressing excitement and gratitude for AI‑enabled development that transforms years of struggle into immediate results.

No, literally, because what the fuck, Claude? What the fuck? Yesterday? No, 2 days ago, I did not know what GitHub or Railway was. I've been trying to build a website since 2018, and I know what you're thinking, like, Stormy, that's almost 10 years ago. I didn't know what those 2— I don't even know, are they websites? Are they developing apps? I don't even know what they are. I asked Claude to build me the website that I've been trying to build for years. and I knew that it was gonna take a lot of coding. Like, I reached out to a, a real human developer several years ago, and they were like, yeah, that's gonna cost you somewhere between $15,000 and $25,000 for me to build for you. I imagine because it's a lot of code, it's a lot of backend, it's a, it's a lot of different little moving parts. I literally, 2 days ago, 2 evenings ago, in 2.5 hours, told Claude what I wanted to build. It built it for me, gave me a preview, and I said, okay, change this, this, this, this, this, this, this. And they're like, okay, now you have a functioning thing, but there's a couple more steps you need to add edit, you need to deploy it on GitHub, and then deploy it on Railway, and then it'll process. It literally walked me through. Last night, Claude and I spent 3 hours. It walked me through all the steps. It had to change some code, edit some things.
