About a year ago, I was tasked with creating a new software solution from scratch. I was the only developer on the project, but I wasn’t truly alone. I leaned heavily on AI tools to code, design, test, and document the entire product. Weeks of intense work, trial and error, and creative problem-solving led to a finished product that worked beautifully and delivered real value. Today, that software is a commercial success. The company makes a lot of money from it. And me? I earn the same paycheck I did before.

I don’t regret the experience. It taught me a lot and proved to me that one person, with the right tools, can build something truly impactful. AI has changed the game. A single creator can now do what once took a full team.
