“You don’t need more courses. You need more courage.”
For years, I did what everyone does:
📚 Watched tutorials
📘 Bought courses
🧠 Studied frameworks
But I always felt like I wasn’t ready.
Fear of messing up kept me stuck.
So I decided to flip the script.
—
The turning point
Instead of studying, I started building.
Not for work.
Not for a client.
Just to see an idea come to life.
My first project looked terrible.
It was full of console.log() and copy-pasted code.
But it worked.
And that changed everything.

What I learned (without realizing it):
• I learned about security because my deploy kept failing
• I learned testing after breaking a route
• I learned UI/UX because no one could use what I made
Was I studying?
Yes. But with purpose.

What you can take from this:
📌 You don’t need 10 frameworks to get started
📌 You don’t need to be “senior” to launch something
📌 You just need a simple idea — and the guts to try

Today, that small test turned into a real product:
⚡ thumbgen.app
AI thumbnails for creators.
No code. No Photoshop. Just results.
I started alone.
Didn’t wait for permission.
And the opportunities started showing up.

If there’s one thing I’d tell you:
Start building before you feel ready.
Spoiler: you’ll never feel ready.

Exactly that.
I have heard many of them are saying that make project from scratch without tutorail hell but i wounder sometime beacuse i have try to make and then i found myself stuck on css then only i realise that it' doesn't matter how many course you have done the only thing matter is that have u ever build by yourself and that's the turning point of a devloper
