Colin has taught 1000s of students how to build SaaS apps with
AI. In this episode, he showed me exactly why my vibe coded
prototype was insecure and how to convert it into a real SaaS app
with auth, payments, and more. If you want to learn to build SaaS
apps in 40 minutes with Cursor and Claude Code, then this episode
is for you.

Colin and I talked about:

(00:00) The 7 components that every real SaaS app needs

(01:44) Client, server, database: What most prototypes miss

(08:57) Live demo: Adding Stripe, auth, and databases to my photo
app

(16:45) Why starting with templates beats prompting from scratch

(20:30) The Supabase security flaw in most vibe coded apps

(25:35) Why AI shouldn't touch your database directly

(35:00) 4-steps to ship a real SaaS app that people will pay for

(38:15) Why tech credentials no longer matter (and what does
instead)
