Depending on who you listen to, AI coding is either a miracle or complete garbage. I don’t have a coding background, but I know my way around a Linux terminal. And I’ve used ChatGPT / Gemini enough to know how frustrating and stupid it can be at times. I have an idea that I want to develop into a functional proof of concept at minimal cost, but it’s an enterprise-level application. At its core, it needs to (theoretically) run a small language model within an architecture that can eventually scale to enterprise cloud, have API connectivity to HRIS systems, SSO and a full interactive user interface similar to Workday. But it needs to start on a Thinkpad running Ubuntu Server on my home network. I get that even if I make it past POC, the thing will probably have to be rebuilt from the ground up by a competent developer. But can I even get it barely functional enough to demo testers and investors using only AI? I have free access to Gemini 3.1 Pro for the time being, but I’ve heard Claude is better. My problem with Claude, though, is that in the past I’ve burned through a month’s worth of tokens on their standard paid plan within a few hours, and that’s without any code generation. Is this viable or am I wasting my time? Or should I try for something easier like a phone app? submitted by /u/TheStoffer
