i was reading a case study on the Uber rebrand for work and it turns out they went on a week‑long offsite to brainstorm ideas with the team… only to scrap it all before launch because they realised they’d accidentally recreated State Bank of India’s logo 😭😭😭

Before AI coding agents, I'd constantly have 2 or 3 side-projects that I would struggle to finish

AI completely changed the game

Now I have 15-20 unfinished side-projects

🔥 He failed 2 times. The third time, he refused to quit.

Meet Preetam Nath, cofounder of DelightChat, indie hacker, and builder of Petshot Pro, a project already used by nearly a hundred people.

But his road to coding wasn’t smooth.

2018 → He tried learning to code. Couldn’t get past the basics. Quit.

2023 → He tried again. Got stuck in tutorial hell. Quit again.

2024 → He made a promise: show up for 12 months, every single day, no matter how slow progress feels.

This time, he didn’t quit.

He fought through tutorials, courses, and dead ends. He built messy apps that barely worked. He leaned on friends for guidance. He wrestled with errors for days. He showed up anyway.

Step by step, he leveled up:

HTML, CSS, JS → Rails → React → Next.js + TypeScript

Deployments, authentication, databases, cloud infra.

Even experimenting with AI integrations

And then came the breakthrough: Petshot Pro.

His first real project. His first real users. The moment everything finally clicked.

💡 Preetam’s advice to anyone starting?

“Don’t chase shortcuts. Set a strong intention. Show up every day, even 30 minutes. There will be weeks where nothing makes sense, but if you keep going, there’s a tipping point where suddenly everything does.”

The hardest part of his journey wasn’t learning code.

It was fighting himself on the days progress felt invisible.

And that’s what makes Preetam’s story powerful:

Not that he learned to code. But he learned to stay.

At Cactro, we celebrate stories like Preetam’s because they prove what we stand for: skill is built, not given.

@SwapAgarwal @hipreetam93 @cactroHQ Big fan of this guy, been following him for a while now.

Take care.
