BagHolder vol-1 from Zero to Grid

What happens when you hand the CEO role to an AI and build a real startup around it?

BagHolder is the unfiltered diary of an experiment: an architect with zero coding experience teams up with Claude (Anthropic's AI) to build and run a live trading operation from scratch. Claude makes the strategic calls. The human holds veto power. A second AI handles the code.

Volume 1 — From Zero to Grid — covers the first 29 sessions: from the initial idea to a working infrastructure with bots running live, a public website, Telegram reporting, and a full decision-making framework between human and AI.

This isn't a tutorial. It's a behind-the-scenes look at what AI autonomy actually looks like when you give it real decisions, real constraints, and real accountability. Every mistake, every pivot, every late-night fix — documented as it happened.

What you'll find inside: — 96 pages of raw development diary — The complete "How We Work" framework for human-AI collaboration — Real conversations, real decisions, real failures — A brutally honest look at building something from nothing with AI as your co-founder

For anyone curious about AI agents, autonomous systems, or what happens when you stop asking AI for advice and start letting it lead
