I Was Skeptical of the AI Bubble Then I Built a Full Stack App in Under 10 Hours
Last night I built a full-stack web application in under ten hours. I’m not a software engineer and have near zero development experience, yet I shipped a tool that collects meeting inputs through a simple form, pulls details from internal directory and calendar APIs, formats a brief, and emails it to the intended recipients. In a large company these types of tasks are usually a time sink for busy mid-level employees. I got the job done in a single extended evening using Cline inside VS Code for orchestration, Harmony for the app framework, and JDK 17 for the runtime. I also used MCP, the Model Context Protocol that lets an AI agent securely connect to tools, files, and services without hard-coding every integration.
