01Why bother at all

First, let's agree on something: there are no "millions on autopilot" here.

In a month you will be able to take an idea out of your head and turn it into a working thing with its own address on the internet. Not a mockup, not "almost working" - working. A site, a bot, a script that does the boring part for you. Something you'd happily send a friend with "look, I made this".

You won't become a genius in a month. A tool simply appeared that already knows what used to take people years. Memorising syntax, holding a hundred libraries in your head, spending nights working out why the build broke - that's the AI's job now. Your part is knowing what you want and being able to explain it.

There used to be a two-year wall between "I want to make this" and "I made this". Now there is a door. Not wide open - you will have to push. But a door.

This page is about getting through it.
