Also timelines it took to build: Personal website: 1 week HeadshotAI: 2.5 weeks Job board: 3.5 weeks Chrome extension: 1 day Telegram bot: 1 day Remember, before each project I knew nothing about the code except what I learned previously. Build fast, fail fast, learn more.

A lot of you asked, so I'm sharing it for free. ChatGPT made me $100,000s in 3 months 6 months ago, I didn't know how to code Since then I used ChatGPT to build 2 websites, a chrome extension, and a web app I want to show u step-by-step Let's win together. Read below: πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

I learned early on that ChatGPT was revolutionary at (i) teaching concepts, and (ii) understanding code. Throughout my whole life, I couldn't make it through a SINGLE Udemy course. Gibberish into one ear, out the other. Then, GPT made me a website in 3 prompts. 1/

The website was ugly. But it was at that moment I realised something profound. ChatGPT is your personal tutor, that can PRECISELY match your pace of learning This revolutionizes learning. I know I learn at hyper-speed when I am working at the edge of my knowledge 2/

A coding tutorial doesn't know what step I am stuck on. It just dumps a wall of information on me. With ChatGPT, I can ask whatever question I want. I can also ask it to dumb-down explanations and define jargon on the spot. This makes learning fun, not daunting. 3/

I immediately started projects that were on the edge of my competency. Here is how to start: 1. Describe the key details of the project to ChatGPT and ask it to give you the code. 2. The code will have errors, or not have all the features you asked for (or didn't ask for). 4/

3. Re-feed the code back to GPT and ask it questions for new features you want, one at a time. 4. Ask clarifying questions, guide GPT, and then ask it to give the code. 5. Repeat It is good practice to feed your code back to GPT so it doesn't start hallucinating πŸ‘‡ 5/

You will into endless errors using ChatGPT to code. You learn from teaching. So think, "wow, I get to both learn from AND teach GPT." It is also a volume game -- but directed towards a goal (your project). For me, I have asked 7631 pages of questions/answers to ChatGPT. 6/

This is the project order I used to learn fast: 1. to learn HTML + CSS (simple) 2. to learn PHP + AI (a bit harder) 3. A job board site to learn React, NextJS, MongoDB (bigger moves) 4. A telegram bot 5. A chrome extension 7/

Now, I can start asking GPT much more difficult questions building on the knowledge I have gained. I can also code many things without having to ask anything. Goal accomplished! Figure out the first project you want to build and get started. You will learn fast, be warned.

I hope this was useful. I will cover the business and marketing aspects in future tweets. A lil' more about me: - I quit my job as a lawyer TODAY to commit to indie hacking - Now, I am building up my parent's retirement - I share my progress on Twitter

@_briangi It's really interesting how fast you've shipped these products! I think a lot of developers (including me) tend to find the code as interesting as the product - so we spend a lot of time "optimizing". When did you know that it was "good enough" to ship?
