It’s vibe coded slop that could be made by anyone with Claude Code and a spare weekend.
It didn’t require any skill, it’s all written by Claude. I’m not sure why you’re trying to hype up this guy, if he didn’t have Claude he couldn’t have made this, just like non engineers all over the world are coding all a variety of shit right now.
I’ve been following Peter and his projects 7-8 months now and you fundamentally mischaracterize him.
Peter was a successful developer prior to this and an incredibly nice guy to boot, so I feel the need to defend him from anonymous hate like this.
What is particularly impressive about Peter is his throughput of publishing *usable utility software*. Over the last year he’s released a couple dozen projects, many of which have seen moderate adoption.
I don’t use the bot, but I do use several of his tools and have also contributed to them.
There is a place in this world for both serious, well-crafted software as well as lower-stakes slop. You don’t have to love the slop, but you would do well to understand that there are people optimizing these pipelines and they will continue to get better.
Weekend - certainly not, the scope is massive. All those CLIs - gmail, whisper, elevenlabs, whatsapp/telegram/discord/etc, obsidian, generic skills marketplace etc, it's just so many separate APIs to build against.
But Peter just said in his TBPN interview that you can likely re-build all that in 1 month. Maybe you'd need to work 14h per day like he does, and running 10 codex sessions in parallel, using 4-6 OpenAI Pro subs.
It was not built by Claude -- Peter no longer uses it for coding -- he builds exclusively with Codex now: https://steipete.me/posts/2025/shipping-at-inference-speed
