  • Episode 130: Claude Code Shrinks Ecommerce Re-Platforms from 6 Months to 1-Week
    2025/07/07
    AI coding agents just jumped a level. Replatforms aren’t a six month project anymore - they could be done in a week, as a recent proof of concept I developed with the latest version of Claude Code shows. Early surveys show teams reporting 20-25 % productivity jumps in just four weeks of adoption. In this episode I break down what these releases mean for Magento, Shopify, and Adobe Commerce projects: why a proof-of-concept store that once took six months now ships in one sprint; how a six-step AI loop (plan → code → test → commit → CI → repeat) turns Claude Code into a heads-down teammate; and why extension authors and agencies must rethink pricing, testing, and value as single-purpose plugins get auto-generated in minutes. Whether you write code or just sign the invoices, you’ll leave knowing: * Which tools to test first (Claude Code, Codex o3, Windsurf) * The GitHub-issue workflow that keeps AI on-track and test-driven * How value-based pricing beats billable hours in an AI world * Why smaller dev shops suddenly compete head-on with massive (and expensive) project teams Hit play, then DM me on LinkedIn with your own AI build wins—let’s push ecommerce forward together.
