I started coding at 37 after spending 10+ years in academia as a molecular biologist. By accident. No grand plan. No childhood prodigy story. Just curiosity, a laptop, and the extremely dangerous discovery that making computers do things is addictive 😊

This compounding thing actually works! 😂 A client I undercharged a website and a business offer for a month ago just called. Apparently, everyone LOVES my work. And now he wants to hire me to handle their social media and marketing on an ongoing basis. Hello, monthly recurring revenue! 😂 Keep showing up, people. Things take time, but they do add up❤️

Meta hackathon starts today! I love hackathons. No expectation of winning anything, just excited to build something, try weird ideas, and see what everyone else comes up with! Anyone else joining?

Fun day today! 🥳 Running around government offices, filling out forms, collecting stamps, and trying to convince Croatia that I exist. Of course, I arrived just in time for their 30 minute break 😂 All this AI, and I'm sitting here manually copying information from one form printed by a computer onto another 🤦‍♀️ How is it in your country?

I had a 90 min meeting with my marketing partner. These are my notes. We have a marketing plan now. I wonder what a psychiatrist would say I have 🤣

Oh no. It started going backwards 😅 Yesterday it was at 345K. At first I was impressed. Now I am depressed 🤣

Paid for Kimi K3.1 Pro plan to try making videos for my AI workshops for teens. Asked it to improve yesterday’s video. Worked like magic. Then I checked: 13% of my monthly tokens for 12 seconds 😂 If I nail every video with one shot prompting, that’s 7 videos. About €3 each. Think about the hours it would take to make this by hand. I got it for the price of a coffee. Ridiculous. How are you creating your marketing videos these days?

GPT just created a math test for my 6 year old who's really into numbers lately. I used to write them for her by hand, and just realized that I don't have to do that anymore ☺️

I once paid for a full year of gym membership, a training program, and never went. Why? I overslept on day one, on day two I was hungover, and then too embarrassed to ever show up 😂 What's the stupidest thing you've wasted money on?

Someone just vibe-coded alternatives to Microsoft Office AND Adobe Creative Cloud. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and more. All free. All open source. If one developer can build all this with AI, what happens to software companies charging us subscriptions for decades?

I'm officially blown away by Kimi K3 🤯 It created an entire video for my kids' AI Academy from the simplest prompt imaginable - look at the website and create a reel. Imagine what I could get with an actually decent prompt 😂 I think Kimi just earned itself a permanent spot in my AI toolbox. Have you tried it out yet?

I spent years learning how to code. Now AI can do it in 30 seconds. So naturally, I decided to start teaching people how to use AI. Can't wait for AI to start doing that too. At this rate, I'm going to run out of career changes before I turn 45 😂

I have a serious question about LinkedIn. Everyone's a founder. Everyone's a CEO. Everyone's closing six-figure deals. But all I see are sellers selling to other sellers. WHO THE HELL IS BUYING? Is LinkedIn just one giant pyramid scheme with better headshots? 😂

It's stuck. Who do I have to talk to around here to get this progress bar moving? 😂 I've tried posting more. I've tried being funny. I've even tried being interesting. Nothing works. What does X want from me, a blood sacrifice? 😂

Applying to YC with @jessyka_boat Sounds like a joke, two middle aged women applied to YC and they got in 😂 Carpe diem to the fullest, this is going to be fun :)

I wish there were a pill I could take to temporarily disable my moral compass. I'd be a rich woman by now 😂

What does this image look like today I wonder? This was in February.

If you want something badly enough, you'll find a way to make it happen. I was 34, had a newborn baby and a full-time job, when I started learning to code. Was I exhausted? Absolutely. Did I have time? Not really. Did I do it anyway? Yes. A few years later, I was working as a software engineer. You don't need perfect circumstances to change your life. You just need to start and keep going 😉

Are you a real developer or just a professional AI whisperer pretending to know what you're doing?👀 Time to find out. 😈 I made this little quiz a few months ago and almost forgot it existed 😂 vibeordev.com/

Tomorrow I'm sending my first official AI workshop offer to the Croatian Chamber of Commerce. Still figuring out this whole entrepreneurship thing, took me 3 days to write the offer 🤣 Did I price it right this time,or am I being delulu again? ☺️

Who decided we're supposed to have one career for our entire lives? Why can't we be serial careerists? Fall in love with something. Give it your all. Outgrow it. Move on. The same thing with partners, serial monogamist sounds great 🤣 Life's too short to be just one thing.
