Having a system. Having the exact tools, prompts, and step-by-step process to go from "cool idea" to "working app" without getting stuck.
And in a week or two--NOT MONTHS.
That's exactly what Code Playbook is.
I've spent 2.5 years figuring out how to build apps with AI.
Made every mistake possible (and still do!!).
Wasted months going down rabbit holes. Lost money on failed experiments.
Code Playbook is everything I wish I had when I started.
This isn't theory. This isn't stuff that COULD work.
This is battle-tested stuff that made me money.
