my girlfriend launched her first mobile app 5 weeks ago. today it hit $800 MRR and almost $1000 in revenue! incredibly proud boyfriend moment right here. here’s the back story: two months ago my gf approached me and asked me if i can teach her the basics of coding. i was really stoked because it came from her and not me. i tried forcing a partner in the past into coding and let me tell it didn’t work out well lol anyways, being a proud engineer and believing in teaching people first principles i decided to not throw her immediately into AI vibe coding but rather teach her the basics of coding. we started with the Swift playgrounds course which is absolutely amazing btw after she learned programming primitives we moved to web and i taught her a bit of typescript we then built a very simply react native app without any AI so she could get the feeling of how apps actually work (obsly very basic but better than nothing) at that point my life became quite busy again and i had to fully focus on work before that though, i taught her how AI works with Cursor and Claude Code and then i went back to work fast forward a week or two my gf approached me with her first app idea that she wants to build i genuinely couldn’t believe it because it was actually a great idea! very rare for a first timer. she either absorbed a lot of business things i was just casually rambling during dinners or she’s just super smart. probably the latter. the idea had a few rough edges but i didn’t want to influence it too much because i believe that you gotta sometimes make mistakes and learn how to fix them / pivot along the way so i basically “left the chat” and let her cook (or fu*k up) on her own 5 weeks later and her app revenue basically reached her salary (she’s indonesia and wages are a bit rekt) 95% of her revenue is coming from organic Tiktok clips and comments every time i see her on her phone she’s now creating new content for distribution i can see the hunger for more in her eyes and it’s absolutely beautiful

universities are about to realize that they had been selling the wrong product for the 150 years. they thought they sold knowledge, then information became free. they pivoted to selling credentials but now credentials are just proxies. in the post-ai era the universities who survive will realize they were always selling 3 things: network, status signaling, and a 4 years of protected time to become an adult.
