After 50 days with Claude Code, building is easy — finding users and ideas is the wall

A developer who builds side projects with Claude Code after work (50 days in) says weeks-long builds now finish in a day — his latest, a lead-finder for X, was done while he was at his day job. His takeaway: building is no longer the hard part. The new walls are distribution and idea validation — nobody knows his product exists, and he can't tell which ideas are worth building. He asks those who shipped with Claude Code and got real users where they actually spent their time: finding the problem, getting the first 100 users, or something else.
