In the wake of AI and vibe coding, most of us, developers, gravitate towards prompting AI agents to find solutions, or debug, or build something.
So I figured, why not let AI give me a problem, and then I work backwards to get the solution?
I'm going to take you on my journey to build a system, from a problem statement generated by AI (ChatGPT).
But first,
Who am I?
Hi, my name is Oscar Okiya. I'm passionate about solving problems, especially tech-related. I serve as a DevOps/Cloud Engineer. You can find me on LinkedIn, I'd be happy to connect.
Why am I doing this?
Other than learning (of course), I'm working on improving my solutions architecture and technical writing skills.
That said,...
What's next?
A few months ago, I wanted to start doing projects to refresh my knowledge, test out new cloud offerings, and put out new content. It turned out that at the same time, I was engaging ChatGPT quite a lot. Then it dawned on me that instead of prompting AI to give me answers to random questions, why don't I ask it for a business problem and try to see if I transform it into technical requirements, break it down into bite-size and develop it. Guess what, it did. And that will be the start of this journey.
The first problem statement
For our first case, let's look at building an e-commerce platform for a new startup that is selling handmade, eco-friendly products. The company serves 5k clients on a daily, and scales to 50k clients seasonally on events like black Friday.
I bet you are wondering, is this all AI gave you? Of course not. I'm showing you the details of the requirements next. But before then,
Pause
If you're as excited as I am about this, give me a thumbs up! I'd like to know who I'm taking with me in this journey. A final note, this is going to be a series, so at the end of each post, you will find links to the next phase.
Let's Go!
Here is the detailed business case. 1. An E-Commerce Platform for a Niche Market.
