Biochem PhD turned self-taught dev at 37. AI engineer by day, building apps for fun by night. Sometimes I even finish them 😉

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

I started coding at 37 after spending 10+ years in academia as a molecular biologist.
By accident. No grand plan. No childhood prodigy story.
Just curiosity, a laptop, and the extremely dangerous discovery that making computers do things is addictive 😊

@thomasbellio Even though I know that extremely high number will get rejected?

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

Found another client through Facebook 🥳

He wants me to teach him how to use AI to manage his business better.

I asked for too little money again, but at least this time I actually asked for money 😂

How did you learn to price your work without just picking a number and hoping nobody laughs?

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@ashxhart Better for me :)

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@gidibamshop He'd probably think I added an extra 0 by mistake :D

@RadoTsc I agree, different things create the dopamine high these days

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

I miss coding before AI.

I’d spend three hours chasing a stupid bug, fix it, and feel like a genius.

If something worked on the first try, I took the afternoon off to celebrate 😂

The dopamine highs aren’t as high anymore.

@Harsher_Reality Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life ;)

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@bryan_horse I'm sure it is :)

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@thesaadmomin Well said, convenience traded for fun!

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@jameslyo Very much so!

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@SRuthrasan71495 It was 'That's okay, you'll pay me next time we meet' 😂

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

I have a Wispr Flow referral link to give away.

I once met a client specifically so they could pay me. We chatted for an hour.

As we got up, she said: “Oh, I almost forgot to pay you.”

What do you think I replied?

Closest answer gets a free month of Pro 😂

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@SRuthrasan71495 WE GOT A WINNER!! 😆

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@JeffKazzee You're partying too early, @SRuthrasan71495 won :D

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@RedFasterX That is awesome indeed :)

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@SaidAitmbarek I still try to learn as often as I can!

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@sknight2021 And it will never be the same again

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@nava_who_codes No 😅

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@moonfarm_dev Yep :)

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

Remember when you couldn’t remember the name of a game or movie, so you had to post a vague description on some forum and hope the right nerd saw it?

Thank God for AI 😂

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@dlaugh86 Good point :)

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@v_jug 🤣
