I’m Not A Developer. I Built An Ai App Anyway.
A few months ago, I wouldn’t have called myself a developer.
I was more on the business side — Web3, fintech, building ideas, not really writing code
but lately something changed
With AI, I started actually building things myself
not perfectly, not clean… but real products
Right now I’m working on an AI meal planning app (FamilyPlate.ai)
The idea started super simple:
help my (and other) families stop asking “what should we eat today?” every day… because honestly it creates way too many small debates ????
but the real problem is something else
everyone wants something different
and suddenly dinner becomes this small daily negotiation
so now I’m trying to solve it by turning it into a weekly plan that everyone actually agrees on — with simple voting
honestly… building it has been messy
things break
prompts don’t work
logic gets weird
sometimes I fix one thing and break two others
but now — I’m actually proud it works
and I even got my first paid customers (people I don’t know)
and that’s the crazy part
you don’t need to be a “perfect dev” anymore to start building
you just need to:
understand the problem
keep iterating
and not quit when things get confusing
still figuring things out tbh
but I feel like this shift is huge
curious — how many of you are building with AI without a traditional dev background?
