Start building products faster with AI coding. After 25 years in tech, I'm building my startup in the public eye, using AI coding tools and sharing everything I learn, including AI coding tutorials, new trending AI tools, and behind-the-scenes lessons on startup building.
I didn’t try to fix myself. I rebuilt my system instead.

Hello Reader, Last week, I came off an intense stretch of focused work. I call it extreme momentum. It’s the kind of mode where I move fast, ship hard, and almost forget to breathe. But when it ends? I crash. Not energy-wise — system-wise. Because during those bursts, I stop updating my tools. No OmniFocus. No Notion. Just building. And when I finally slow down, I’m staring at a mess:
That’s when I realized the real problem: I wasn’t building a system that matches how I actually work.
I was building a system for how I "wish" I worked.
So I started from scratch.I opened up a chat with ChatGPT and said: “Act as my productivity coach. Help me rebuild my system for how I really work, not how I’m supposed to.”
I also shared all my challenges with previous system.
Over the next 10 days, we rebuilt everything:
But most importantly…
I didn’t try to fix myself. I designed a system that works with my rhythm, not against it. Why It’s Working NowBecause it’s real. It accepts the fact that I have bursts of momentum cycles. That I drift. That sometimes I don’t want to “plan” and just want to keep taking actions and move forward. This system doesn’t try to control me. It catches and support me when I land. And that’s what I need. If You’ve Felt This Too…If you’ve ever felt like your task system was broken... Or too rigid... Or too full of “someday maybe” tasks which you’ll never touch… Then trust me, I’ve been there. You’re not lazy. You don’t need to fix yourself. Maybe you just need a system that fits you. Want me to share the templates, checklists, or reflections that helped me get here? Just reply or DM me. I’ll share everything I’ve got. You deserve a system that works for you not one you have to work around. PS: The view of my hotel pool is incredible. It shows that limits are often self-imposed. It’s hard to believe this massive pool is built on the 6th floor. It pushes me to dream bigger, and it might do the same for you. This pool is a testament to what’s possible when we think outside the box. It shows that limits are often self-imposed. Let this view inspire you to reach for more. Dream bigger. Live larger. Vinod |

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 Followed Here’s the exact progression that took me from beginner stage → building my startup in under a year: ChatGPT & Claude → for ideas, brainstoming, research, debugging help and quick scripts Figma...
Hello Reader, This week in the AI Coding for Beginners series, we’re taking a big step forward. We’re adding databases, APIs, and security checks. Our project: We will build a Mood-Based Quote Generator. You select a mood (happy, sad, inspired, etc.), and the app displays a quote that matches your mood. This episode shows how indie founders and programmers can go from idea to working product in days, not months. What You’ll Learn How to build with Lovable How to use Lovable Think Mode for...
