App building will break your brain in the best way possible.
I have built over 10 apps in the past 8 months with no coding background.
The tools are not the hard part.
Holding the entire product in your head while making 40 decisions a day is the hard part.
What to build.
What to cut.
What to ship broken because the deadline is real.
Deciding between 3 UI directions when all 3 feel wrong.
Shipping something imperfect and watching people use it anyway.
Knowing when to stop prompting and start thinking.
I have never been challenged like this. 17 years of running businesses and nothing came close.
And I have never loved a challenge more.

@ryan_tech_lab @cursor_ai for me building is easy, as in super easy! Explaining how it can feel so easy is hard tho! Some people just don't believe it, some love it and also start building.

@ninakolari @cursor_ai 6 apps in 6 months, no code background, Cursor hackathon win. this is the story people need to hear more. what was the hardest part — building or explaining it to people who think you need to code first?

Haven't been on here in years. A lot has changed.
So has my life.
6 iOS apps built in 6 months. No coding background. Won a @cursor_ai hackathon solo. I teach non-technical women to build apps with AI.
If you are into vibe coding, app building, or AI tools you are in the right place.
What are you building?

I went mini-viral on Linkedin.
Here's what I learned from getting 70K impressions, 698 likes, 100s comments.
People do not read the post - they see the hook and run to the comments tell the author how wrong they are.... I was "put in my place" quite a few times.
As a bonus I was also insulted few times 🙌 I guess I've made it now...
I also made great new connections with people who bothered to read the full post. And 100s new followers.
Going viral is overrated based on this experience.
Going back to my boring hooks that nobody reads 🤣

SaaS is dead.
Why pay $50/month when Claude Code can build you anything for $200/month?
Except.....
Most people don’t want to spend their weekends prompting AI, debugging edge cases, and figuring out why the auth broke again.
I'll die on this hill but people have always paid for convenience.
They want to open an app and have it work.
The best apps look simple. The backend is anything but.
That gap — between what users see and what actually runs underneath — is where all the work lives.
SaaS is dead. On LinkedIn. For engagement.

@thenowhereway Well I'm building something I want and then see if there are others who want it too.
