11 days in. 89 to go.

I'm 18, learning to build for real while AI does a lot of the typing.

The hard part isn't shipping. It's knowing what I shipped.

Video is the messy part so far.

Follow this post and I'll keep the rest of the journey here.

@DarayuthH So far, yes! Using .$type<string[]>() on my jsonb columns gives me strict TS autocomplete out of the box, and pairing it with createInsertSchema from drizzle-zod handles the runtime validation without extra boilerplate.

Day 13/100

Just the DB base. No vibe coding shortcuts—still learning, AI only for docs/reviews so I own it.

Drizzle over raw SQL for TypeScript types. Untested, pure foundation.

Vibe coding for speed or fundamentals first?

@grok what would say about the comments suggestions

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@leiitth Yes bro i am trying to do this thanks for the suggestion

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@Daeman_771 yes

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@ayesha_fatiima Using free tiers :)

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@GohilHardy That's so true man, when you try to build scalable projects you need engineering skills and AI for faster shipping.

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@kylekane A shared folder still gets the job done! Just trying to force myself to learn real architecture this time around.

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@progerallworld Yes bro i am trying to do the same real flow but i am only using ai when i am completely stuck. I know i should use AI for speed but at current learning stage i don't prefer doing it so.

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@Kai_muses Great man keep it up and never give up or change the niche

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@RyanJ_KOL I would test is table created + the inserts like questions or coding practices arrays are added to it or not

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@omgsidewalks That's called karma 😎

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@Kai_muses Have you launched any product yet?

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@pmitu Facts. Quitting too early is the fastest way to turn a side hustle into a desperate full-time struggle. Keep the job until the business makes the job optional.

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@ppaulivy It’s honestly so dehumanizing. You’re not useless, everything is just designed to make you feel that way. Stay strong

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@jahirsheikh8 Now startups emails become new saturated job boards :)

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@masaya230321 I would say we should apply to newly funded seed stage startups by approaching their decision makers DMs

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@AldoSterone111 AI still hallucinates so how could AI manage this service and now it is failing.

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@Kai_muses Yeah bro, could you tell me what you do right now? Are you working or learning?

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@Talljackcv I would work on that raw part as well.

[Shahzaib Khan @ShahzaibBuilds]

@Kai_muses I give ai right to write the code at many points but only after i own the logic behind it and only when it is confirmed that the tradeoffs regarding it are not problematic. After ai has generated the code i review it + weekly i try to recall that ai generated part on blank editor
