Re
Why I build in public

I got tired of reading about AI and never actually building anything with it.

There is so much content telling you what is possible. Endless threads, hot takes, another 60-second video hyping the tool of the week. But almost nobody shows you the actual workflow, how they went from a rough idea to something that actually ships.

AI moves fast. Really fast. New tools every day, constant updates, endless noise. Most of it you will never touch. The hard part is not finding tools, it is knowing which ones actually help you build.

I'm a 19-year-old CS student at McGill. I'm not a genius. I'm not a 10x engineer. I'm just someone building real apps and automations in public, and writing down what actually works along the way.

Every Monday, I send one email breaking down the vibecoding tools, workflows, and AI automations I actually use to ship real apps. No fluff. No hype-chasing. No gatekeeping. Just what's actually working, from someone building it in public.

I write this newsletter by hand, every week. Read it and you can tell.
