I am curious. What do you want us to see in that github repo?

I've been an EM for the last 10 of my 25 year Software Engineering career. Coding is, frankly, boring to me anymore, even though I enjoyed doing it most of my career. I had this project I wanted to exist in world but couldn't be bothered to get started.

Decided to figure out what this "vibe coding" nonsense is, and now there's a certain level of joy to all of this again. Being able to clearly define everything using markdown contexts before any code is even written has been a great way to brain dump those 25 years of experience and actually watch something sane get produced.

Here are the stats Claude Code gave me:

In case anyone is curious, here was my epiphany project from 2 weeks ago: https://github.com/boj/the-project

I then realized I could feed it everything it ever needed to know. Just create a docs/* folder and tell it to read that every session.

Through discovery I learned about CLAUDE.md, and adding skills.

Now I have an /analyst, /engineer, and /devops that I talk to all day with their own logic and limitations, as well as the more general project CLAUDE.md, and dozens of docs/* files we collaborate on.

I'm at the point I'm running happy.engineering on my phone and don't even need to sit in front of the computer anymore.

Interesting!

I wonder if this line

> It will configure an auth_backend.rs and wire up a basic user

over a big enough number of projects will lead to at least 2-3 different user names.

How much did this type of project cost you to make?

What kind of costs are you thinking?
