and the projections were not actually the same. I told it that the simpler would be to match features that I knew were in the same location, and it implemented an affine transform defined by three control points, which was simpler to use and more accurate.

So, first prompt was something like: "build a simple product management software for a small vineyard, allowing to create any number of 'cuvees', each having any number of vintages. Use the local .csv exported from Wix as reference".

First problem was: we had a small Wix shop, and I wanted to open professional shops on Faire and Ankorstore, for which there were no direct connectors. It's also my brother, the designer, which has most of the pictures and marketing materials and we had no proper system for sharing them.

It wouldn't make sense to pay for commercial software, that we'd spend time learning & configuring and that'd do half of what we need, so I tried to automate some parts step by step with Claude.

That's also a lot of marketing materials, regulatory details, shipping info to manage that takes a ton of time. This needs to be synced to various systems, wine buying websites, printed to be sent or left to professional buyers, etc.

The way my mom was handling that was basically YOLO: each customer had their own prices (only the pros, dont worry, she didn't just set the price when she saw an individual customer), and that made it impossible to understand anything about the logic when we took over.

One of the operational problem we had was that even though we're tiny, we still have a LOT of products to manage (3 colors * years + special vintages), combined with multiple distribution channels: some people just show up at the Château, online, to restaurants, all the way to customers in China.
