I am a non tech person. Currently working as Product Marketing in a Series B startup.

I am a Non Tech person.

What I have built:-

- Custom wordpress theme live on - https://thelatexlab.com, page speed score is 95+.

- Project Tracking micro SaaS using Next.js, Supabase, Vercel, Posthog, Google Auth - used by 45 Users

-

- Made Two more custom wordpress theme for other businessess.

- Made $4K in last 2 months.

I am just mind blown if a non tech person like me can do this much then what's the ceiling for people who are Technical.

And what it will be in next 1-2 years.

Excited and scared both.

Slight irrelevant because when it comes to business, the most important part is finding customers and selling to them. Tech people focus too much on product development and neglect sales.

I agree. but there is another aspect of this.

I am thinking in terms of productivity increase of a tech person compared to before AI.

Its not above being "Technical" but what kind of business probs you have experience with/deal with day to day. That decides what ceilings are. If you spend your whole day working on cockpit software or a telco stack or power plant scada system market of who you sell your stuff too/what problems you are exposed to is niche.

The fact that everybody else will be doing the same, and thus making any advantage of using AI moot.

How do you handle code versioning, Deployment and Infrastructure as a non technical person ?

While building I also create documentation in parallel. and md file in parallel also. like

Planning md - will have initial plan, goal, research, overview, tech stack.

Architecture md - will have all the architecture decision with reasons why we chose that.

each phase will have a separate documentation

all qa 1,2,3 will have md files noted everything.

deployement md, etc

I initally built these because - I can just change claude code to codex or new session anytime and giving access to the folder and it reads everything and can get updated on the current status.

Engineers are prone to overcomplicating matters.

Pieter Levels famously runs Nomad List as vanilla PHP application on a single Linux server, while people keeps insisting you need a fault-tolerant, multi-region cloud setup and the modern stack-du-jour to provide such an application.

Forgot to add - built a mobile app also - that never went public. Because I have no bandwidth after 2 side hustle and full time job.

Fyi - I used to get scared while seeing terminal interface 3 months back.
