From IT Guy to Builder

I've been in IT for years. When I moved into security, I made it clear — I'm not a developer. Web dev especially. I didn't get it and honestly didn't care to.

That changed pretty recently.

I started messing around with Claude Code, Vercel deployments, other AI tools. Not really sure what I was doing at first. But stuff started clicking. Git commands. File structures. Env vars. Things I had written off started making sense. I even created a project in Claude called teach me how to code.

Then one day I just... shipped something. My own site. Built it myself.

I was surprised. Genuinely. Like wait — I did that?

That's the thing nobody told me. Building isn't just for developers anymore. The tools are different now. The barrier has been lowered and I see possibilities. You still have to put in the work, but you don't have to already know everything before you start. Which is what I thought before.

I'm not calling myself a developer. But I'm building. And that's something I didn't think was for me.

Time will tell where this goes. But for now, I'm just excited to be building something new.
