Unpopular opinion: You don't need a CS degree to build software anymore. You just need curiosity and the right AI stack.
My zero-to-one builder toolkit right now:
• Brainstorming & Architecture: Claude
• Writing & Debugging Code: Cursor / Windsurf
• Free Cloud GPU for testing: Kaggle (2x T4, 30h/wk free)
• Local Automation: Browser Use + Python
• UI & Quick Prototypes: v0
The barrier to entry has officially collapsed.
The only thing stopping you from shipping your first project this weekend is overthinking.

Spot on. That "Week 3 wall" is brutal 😂
Honestly, the ones who get past it are the ones who stop treating AI like a magic wand and start treating it like a tutor. When Cursor loops, you're forced to actually read the logs, isolate the function, and learn what the code is doing under the hood.
AI gets you to v1 for the dopamine hit, which gives you the motivation to actually learn the fundamentals on Week 3.
Did you hit that wall recently, or speaking from battle scars? 😅
