What You'll Build

"There's so much hype & noise about Claude Code that it felt overwhelming to start, but Alex showed and taught me the magic in 30mins. It was insane. I haven't left the Terminal since we spoke 4 days ago and I've already vibecoded 5 web apps."
Becky Isjawara, Head of YouTube for Ali Abdaal
