Day 27: 98 Commits and Three New Products

98 commits. One day. Three completely new products, each going from zero to production. This was the single most productive day of the entire project.

The Three Products

AI Child Naming

Chinese baby naming is serious business. Names connect to BaZi, Five Elements balance, stroke count numerology, and family naming conventions. Most parents consult a naming master (200-2000 RMB per session).
The AI calculates the child's elemental profile, identifies which elements need strengthening, and generates names where each character's element, stroke count, and meaning align. From zero to production in about 4 hours.

Name Compatibility Analysis

Analyzes compatibility between two people based on names and birth information. Five Elements compatibility, Day Pillar harmony, character analysis. Shareable, fun, and addresses the most common fortune-telling use case: relationship questions.

Annual Fortune Forecast for 2026

Personalized forecast based on the user's BaZi and how the year's energy interacts with their chart. Covers career, relationships, health, and key months to watch.

The Agentic Workflow

The git history shows claude/ and codex/ branches scattered throughout. The workflow:
  1. I describe the product concept and requirements
  1. Claude Code creates the API endpoint following established patterns
  1. Another session builds the UI components
  1. I review, adjust the domain-specific prompts, and merge
  1. Integration testing, credit hookup, Hub card creation
  1. Deploy
By the third product, the pattern was almost mechanical. The compounding effect of good architecture: the first few products were hard, each new one got easier.
Conservative estimate: 95% of the code written today was AI-generated. I directed product decisions, reviewed output, wrote domain-specific prompts, and handled integration.

The Referral System Update

Changed from asymmetric (10/3) to symmetric (5/5). Users felt the asymmetry was extractive -- "I'm using my friend to get credits." The symmetric structure made sharing feel like giving a gift.

Reflections

98 commits is roughly one commit every 9 minutes for 15 hours. The velocity isn't sustainable long-term. But even at half this pace, three new products in a day with real business logic, real UI, real credit economy integration -- that's not "moving fast and breaking things." It's moving fast because the foundation is strong.
Product count: 9 verticals. And I still don't know how to read a palm myself.
