I recently built a fairly complex, fully functional web product using nothing but Claude Fable. The product is well tested, secure, and highly polished. It is also not an MVP. It is feature rich. And it took me only 3 weeks of my time and about $1,500.
To build this in a previous life, it would have taken me about 6 months, a few million dollars of venture capital, and a small team. And most importantly, what we would have built would have definitely been an MVP.
What does it mean to build with AI, without any constraints? I'm learning. Practically, it means prompting Claude from my phone over a remote session, as I'm walking to my car after meeting a friend for coffee, asking it to build a brand new feature, just because I can. It means letting Claude handle permission decisions on its own and just build. It feels really powerful. Like I'm a product manager again, except the team I'm working with wants to build whatever I want to build, immediately, instantly, and within hours, not weeks.
And while it feels like I'm expressing maximum creativity, adding one crazy feature after another, it also feels like I'm not being creative at all. As the old saying goes, constraints breed creativity. When you have a small team, limited time and capital, and real milestones to achieve, you have to pick and choose what you do. And sometimes, that results in something magical. Someone recently asked me when I did the best work of my career, and I immediately answered that it was when my startup was 3 months away from running out of cash.
I haven't shipped the product. I don't know when (or if) I ever will. There's a part of me that believes it will perform phenomenally well when I finally do, given just how complete it feels.
But I also wonder if the lack of constraints is the reason this thing hasn't shipped yet. When anything can be built at any moment, nothing ever has to ship. There's no deadline, no burn rate, no team waiting on my decision. The constraint I'm missing isn't capital or people. It might just be a simple deadline. And that's the one thing I can't get AI to build for me.
I guess I'll find out what all this abundance actually got me when I ship it. If I ship it.

最近,我仅使用 Claude Fable 就构建了一个相当复杂且功能完备的 Web 产品。该产品经过了充分测试,安全可靠,且高度完善。它也绝不仅仅是一个 MVP(最小可行性产品)。它功能丰富。而我只花了大约三周的时间和 1500 美元。
要在过去完成这样的构建,我大概需要 6 个月的时间、数百万美元的风险投资,以及一个小团队。最重要的是,我们当时造出来的东西肯定只会是一个 MVP。
在没有任何约束的情况下使用 AI 进行构建,这意味着什么?我还在摸索。实际上,这意味着在我和朋友喝完咖啡走向车里的途中,我通过手机在远程会话中向 Claude 发出指令,要求它构建一个全新的功能,仅仅因为我能做到。这意味着让 Claude 自行处理权限决策并直接构建。这种感觉非常强大。就像我又变回了产品经理,只不过与我共事的团队愿意立即构建我想构建的任何东西,瞬间完成,是以小时计,而不是以周计。
虽然这感觉像是在发挥最大的创造力,一个接一个地疯狂添加功能,但也感觉我根本没有发挥什么创造力。俗话说,限制孕育创造力。当你只有一个小团队、有限的时间和资金,以及需要实现的真实里程碑时,你必须审慎选择要做的事情。有时,这会产生奇妙的结果。最近有人问我,我职业生涯中最好的作品是何时完成的,我立刻回答,那是我的初创公司距离现金耗尽还有三个月的时候。
我还没有发布这个产品。我不知道什么时候(甚至是否)会发布。我内心有一部分相信,当我最终发布时,它的表现会非常出色,因为它给人的感觉是如此完整。
但我也在想,是否正是因为缺乏约束,导致这个东西至今仍未发布。当任何东西随时都能被构建出来时,就永远没有必须发布的必要。没有截止日期,没有烧钱率,也没有团队在等待我的决策。我缺少的约束不是资本或人力。可能仅仅是一个简单的截止日期。而这正是我无法让 AI 为我构建的东西。
我想,当我发布它时,就会发现这所有的富足资源到底给我带来了什么。如果我发布它的话。
