Delphi Developer Builds Go App in 1 Day With AI, Shipping to 3 Platforms

Summary
One day took the author from limited Go familiarity to a moderately sophisticated cross-platform app built for a friend's company.
Claude supplied a Go and Wails 3 tutorial, recommended libraries, generated core data structures, and got a basic application running in about an hour.
The project uses Go for the backend and React for the frontend inside a single binary, while AI also handled Git setup and a CI/CD pipeline.
That pipeline builds Mac, Linux and Windows binaries in one step, letting a longtime Delphi developer deliver outside his usual Windows-focused stack.
The account underscores how AI can compress language onboarding from years of specialization to a day, even without deep mastery of the new language.
