## What you get

Your coworker shipped a feature that should have taken a week. He did it in an afternoon, from a single terminal window. This book gets you from 'installed Claude Code' to deployed SaaS app with Stripe payments and paying customers.

By the end of this book, you'll have a deployed SaaS app with Stripe payments and paying customers. Not a tutorial toy. A real application built from your terminal, plus automated workflows reviewing your code while you sleep.
