I couldn't write a line of code a year ago. Here's how I ship AI products now.

A year ago, I couldn't write a single line of code.

Today there are a few small things I've made that live on the internet — an AI YouTube thumbnail maker, a site that helps people understand volleyball rotations, and a handful of tiny tools. I'm not a developer. I built all of it by talking to AI, mostly with Claude Code.

This isn't a tutorial. It's just the honest lessons I picked up going from zero to shipping — in case you've been wanting to build something but keep telling yourself you can't.

It's not scary — it's a toy

A lot of people freeze the second they hear the word "code." Especially, I've noticed, a lot of people who were told early on that they're "not technical." I get it.
