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 😊

Applying to YC with @jessyka_boat

Sounds like a joke, two middle aged women applied to YC and they got in 😂

Carpe diem to the fullest, this is going to be fun :)

@AtSynct Is there something you can't do, Ken? :)

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

Who decided we're supposed to have one career for our entire lives?

Why can't we be serial careerists?

Fall in love with something. Give it your all. Outgrow it. Move on.

The same thing with partners, serial monogamist sounds great 🤣

Life's too short to be just one thing.

@jpalioto 🤣

I wish there were a pill I could take to temporarily disable my moral compass.

I'd be a rich woman by now 😂

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@ioilmio Oh Claude built it, it was just for fun :) Thanks for participating!

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

Are you a real developer or just a professional AI whisperer pretending to know what you're doing?👀

Time to find out. 😈

I made this little quiz a few months ago and almost forgot it existed 😂

@knowixbuilds Did she send you to a specialist 🤣

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@Brotherhoodoft5 What is this, I love it and need it!!

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@MythThrazz Sure, like being overemployed, doing the bare minimum, overpricing my services, and so on.

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@deviorobert That one just makes me spread the love, nothing amoral about that 😉

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@WarrenLNaida 🤣

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@MythThrazz That I'm ok with :)

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@pavansinghdotin For me it's hard to be amoral

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@yesadok Super high

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@SizeCow Someone else did 🤣

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

What does this image look like today I wonder?

This was in February.

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@WarrenLNaida Send it over!!

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@justmrsrhodah Yep :)

If you want something badly enough, you'll find a way to make it happen.

I was 34, had a newborn baby and a full-time job, when I started learning to code.

Was I exhausted? Absolutely.
Did I have time? Not really.
Did I do it anyway? Yes.

A few years later, I was working as a software engineer.

You don't need perfect circumstances to change your life. You just need to start and keep going 😉

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@nicklaunches It was indeed 😊

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@chris_saturn Aww 😊

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@AIGotYa Good point!

[Tamara Martinović @CodeWithTamara]

@VibeKingFun Yep!
