The Hustle: Claude Hacks For Marketers
Some people use Claude to write emails. Others use it to basically run their entire business while they play Wordle.
This isn't just ChatGPT's cooler cousin. It's the AI that's quietly revolutionizing how smart people work – writing entire business plans, planning marketing campaigns, and basically becoming the intern you never have to pay.
The Hustle's new guide shows you exactly how the AI-literate are leaving everyone else behind. Subscribe for instant access.
13,000 people applied to Anthropic's latest hackathon. 500 made it in. The winner was a California attorney, Mike Brown — had never shipped software in his life. He built a permit-processing app in six days.
Second and third weren't developers either. A cardiologist in Brussels built a patient follow-up tool. A road technician in Uganda built an infrastructure assessment system.
The pattern is brutal: the people who understand problems deeply are now beating the people who understand technology deeply. Domain expertise + AI > coding background.
This is happening everywhere right now. Dev isn't a caste anymore. If you can read carefully, push back when the AI suggests something that smells off, and stop before you break what works — you can ship a real app. Yes, you code.
The only real blocker: no method
You open Cursor, type "build me an app," something appears. Looks real. You add a feature. Everything breaks. You start over. Three days later you quit — and tell yourself you're not cut out for it.
You are. What you're missing is the method.
That's exactly what Vibe Coding, For Real solves: an 8-step process to build apps that hold up, without writing a single line of code yourself. By the end of the book, you've shipped a live CRM (clients, job sites, quotes with PDF export, auth, dashboard) on the same stack as a real production SaaS.
Free until tomorrow (Saturday May 2) on Amazon Kindle.
If you grab it in these last two days and the read serves you: leave an Amazon review, even two lines. On a brand-new launch, the first reviews carry enormous weight — they decide whether Amazon's algorithm pushes the book or it disappears into the noise. Two honest sentences is all it takes.

PS: hit reply with whatever's been holding you back — fear of breaking something, no time, the feeling it's too technical. I'm putting together a follow-up on the most common blockers and the prompts that unblock them.
