The SaaS Buster proves AI-first engineering works. Every hour tracked. Every dollar documented. Every failure admitted.
Starting January 2026, Code Shock is building 12 real SaaS products in 12 months under constraints that would make most agencies quit: 40 hours max per product (engineering and marketing combined), $200 maximum budget, and a $1,000 MRR goal.
Vibe coding gets you started. Disciplined AI-first engineering gets you to production. The same methodology, the same security standards, the same production-grade code. Just faster. Because that's what happens when you've been writing code since 1983 and you know how to use AI right.
