UK dev quit over coding agents, built Videoclaw: chart image to narrated video for $0.39

A 27-year-old UK developer tried ChatGPT, concluded coding agents would take his job, quit, and moved back with his parents to ship solo products. He hit the classic solo-builder problem: AI made building fast but content stayed slow. His fix is Videoclaw — one prompt, $0.39, 8 minutes, turning a chart image into a narrated explainer video, running locally on a Mac so most of it is free.
