Half of building software (with the help of AI) is knowing how to prompt. Half of knowing how to prompt is knowing what you want to build. Half of knowing what you want to build is knowing how to build it.
Even with the best AI coding assistants, I still run into all kinds of mysterious issues. Why things work on my computer, but not in production? 2 hours later and we are still nowhere close to a solution. Still so much to learn. So, so much to learn.
Granted, I'm only halfway through my 'learning to code' journey.
But I've a feeling I'll always be "halfway through", because the milestone keeps moving.
I built and sold two brick & mortar food businesses between 2006-2019.
Now that I'm semi-retired, I ask myself, "What if I spend 10,000 hours chasing curiosity?"
10k to $10k is a live changelog of my journey to see if following my interests "fvcking around and finding out" can make me $10,000 a month. All while living the slowmad life.
