built his own software in 8 hours

A construction estimator needed custom quoting software - the kind built for his exact workflow. Material calculations, labor estimates, business logic that off-the-shelf tools never quite handle. Commercial software runs $100-500 a month and still doesn't fit right.
So he built his own. No code background. No developer on payroll. Just a clear description of what he needed and an AI willing to listen. Eight hours later - a working MVP. Half that time was just learning the tool.
He's not alone. Two other non-technical people did the same thing this week.
P.S. Built something with AI without writing a line of code? Reply - what did you make?
