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 😊

How long does it take a lead developer to set up a GitHub repo and deploy a backend? Apparently, 22 days. Meanwhile, I've built pretty much the entire MVP 😂 Turns out the lead developer leads, and the software developer develops. Who knew? 🤣

Slept with my contact lenses in last night. Woke up feeling like someone had glued them to my eyeballs. Spent the morning trying to remove them without removing my actual eyes in the process. It's 8:33 AM and I've already had enough of today 😂 Happy Thursday everyone!

2,429 followers! You must all be masochists 😂 Anyway, I'm 71 away from 2,500! If you enjoy reading about my AI escapades, entrepreneurial adventures, daily embarrassments, questionable life decisions, and stupid jokes, guess what? Nope. I refuse to say "let's connect." 😂 I can't promise quality content, but I can promise entertainment😂

Remember when selecting your birth year meant scrolling a little? Now I have to scroll so far back I'm starting to question my life choices. JUST LET ME TYPE THE YEAR. I already know I'm old. I don't need an interactive reminder😂

I might be financialy poor, but who can put a price on this? Takes me 2 min by foot from my home to the beach. I might be richer than the most 🥰

They say AI is going to take all our jobs. If you couldn't work as a developer anymore, what would you do for a living? Just curious how many of you would join me on OnlyFans😂

Sad day for WordPress. If you run a WordPress site, check with your host about the PHP security update.

Last time I joined a hackathon, friends came over on a Sunday. I kicked them out after an hour because I wanted to code 😂 Now @jessyka_boat and I are officially in the Meta Global AI Developer Hackathon! 🚀 She's bringing the brains. I'm bringing the code and unreasonable levels of excitement. Luckily, I no longer have friends to disturb my peace. Fully prepared this time 🤣

I think I just found my favourite AI integration🤯 I connected @windsor_ai to Codex and OH MY GOD 😍 I asked it to analyse my Google Search Console data. It can connect to Google Analytics, Meta Ads, Stripe, LinkedIn, and hundreds of other data sources too?! It pulled the numbers, made charts, compared my projects, and told me exactly what I should improve. Imagine having your own marketing analyst who actually understands all those numbers. No more jumping between dashboards. I just ask questions. This is what I love about AI❤️

Everyone wants passive income. I'm collecting active expenses 🤣 I have 8 domains, a collection of half finished projects, subscriptions I keep forgetting to cancel, and enough ideas to keep an entire development team busy. I'm not building a business. I'm running a subscription based service where I'm the only customer🤣 Anyone else building a highly unprofitable empire?

Took a little break from work today to read Christopher Hitchens. One of my all-time favorite people to read and listen to. What a brilliant mind. RIP. I'm rereading God Is Not Great and came across this quote by Heinrich Heine. I've shared it with so many people over the years, and I still think it's one of the most brilliant observations on religion I've ever read. And now, let's see how many followers I can lose with a single post. 3... 2... 1... GO! 😂

In my 20s, I had loads of fun (image as proof). In my 30s, I got a PhD, had a baby, and became a software developer by chance. Now I'm 40 and trying to build a business. I guess I like making each decade more complicated than the last 🤣 Makes me slightly worried about my 50s, probably a mental breakdown awaits 🤪 Anyone else doing things in reverse?😂

A developer, a QA tester, and a an AI agent walk into a bar. The developer orders a beer. QA orders zero beers, minus one beer, and a lizard. The AI agent says it ordered a beer. Everyone waits. My AI twist on a classic joke🤣

Before paying for another AEO subscription, check this out: Used @treg_ai to run an AI visibility audit on my kids AI academy in one prompt. About $0.16. It then: • asked ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Mode the questions buyers ask • found who they recommend • measured the pages they quote • searched Reddit and YouTube for threads to join • ranked 21 actions by impact vs effort Next it drafts the replies and pitches. I'm gonna try it out for a few weeks and hope for the best!

Self-driving taxis are already picking up passengers without a driver. Which profession do you think AI will replace next? Not in 20 years. In the next 2–3 years. I vote for customer support!

For my 38th birthday, I asked one friend for underwear and another for socks. I'd stopped working to focus entirely on learning to code. We had a small child, money was tight, but my husband supported my crazy plan. Two years later, I'm finally starting to have some financial breathing room. I'm still closer to poor than rich, but I can buy my own underwear now. And not even the ones on sale 😂 Whatever you're working towards, keep going. You never know how different your life might look two years from now❤️

Did you know one Gmail address can look like hundreds of different email addresses? 🤯 Gmail ignores dots! [email protected] [email protected] Both go to the same inbox. Bots can exploit this trick to create multiple accounts or fake signups. How to protect your forms: → Normalize Gmail addresses → Add a hidden honeypot field → Rate-limit submissions → Use Cloudflare Turnstile → Verify email addresses I learned this the hard way😂

Are entrepreneurs born or made? Can anyone learn to think like a business owner, or do you need to have that entrepreneurial mindset from the start?

176 signups for my free AI workshop in two weeks. Without promoting it. I thought it was 48. Turns out there were more pages in the database. I need a workshop on my own database first😂 I’m overwhelmed and over the moon. A group that size calls for a different format, so I’m going to record a lesson and send it out. Thank you for trusting me to explain what AI is and how to use it. I feel honoured.😊
