1 MAU to 877 MAU: the viral timeline of a Claude-built product falling apart
notmisha · x · 2026-09-21
A viral tweet chronicles the life cycle of an AI-built product: at 1 MAU "Claude built my entire product in an afternoon," at 10 MAU no more human coders needed, at 100 MAU 47 open tickets about the same button, at 1000 MAU eleven incompatible date formatters. By the millions, payments were down 14 hours from a bad deploy, and the first hired human dev looked at a screenshot of the src directory, replied "No" on Slack, and resigned. The quoter's take: it's a skill issue, not a tool issue.
