From zero to startup founder in 10 months (using AI tools)
|
Hello Reader, Ten months ago, I started coding again. It felt overwhelming. Too many frameworks, too many errors, too much setup. So I did what I always do. I experimented. I tried every AI coding tool I could get my hands on. And here’s what I learned: every tool fits a stage. The Roadmap I FollowedHere’s the exact progression that took me from beginner stage → building my startup in under a year:
