I love Claude Code, but this feels a bit like the perennial "our team spent a year on project X and then some intern built the same thing in a hackathon" claims. The hard part isn't writing the code, it's investigating, testing, integrating, etc. A rule of thumb I've seen in some places (Google certainly seems applicable) is the project will take a month for every day it takes to make the prototype.

Which is no shade on Claude Code, but given everything CC has already done, this seems pretty normal.
