A software company CEO attempts to build a production app using only AI (Claude) in 8 weeks, resulting in Footbeen, a football match tracker with 14,000+ stadiums, 1,300+ leagues, 600,000+ fixtures, and full iOS/Android/Web support. The article shares honest experiences about AI development: AI is a great executor but lacks product sense, requiring heavy human oversight. It explores the implications for software teams.

Key points

  • Built a full football match tracking app (Footbeen) in 8 weeks using only AI (Claude), covering iOS, Android, and Web.
  • AI excels at generating code quickly but needs extensive human correction on product decisions and UX details.
  • Comparison with traditional team: features that would take weeks (like Travel Planner) were shipped in a day with AI + author.
  • The author predicts future software teams will shift to a model of one senior domain expert plus AI, rather than larger teams.
