Solo dev ships 284k lines of TypeScript in 2 months, says code is the easy part

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A solo developer built Astroniq, an AI-powered Vedic astrology platform, writing 284,000 lines of TypeScript across five frontend apps and four backend services in two months. The project includes divisional charts down to D150, agentic AI chat, and birth-time refinement. The author argues that with modern AI tooling, building software is no longer the hardest part of a startup.

Meridian48 take
