My honest diary — from business woman to developer. With Claude as my co-founder, ChatGPT as my ghostwriter, and tea as my only fuel.
I'm Katja. Freelancer specializing in project & customer success management. I've spent my whole career in startups — I love turning ideas into reality, the pragmatic way.
By day, I get teams to peak performance. By night, I'm building an app — with zero coding skills, no team, no budget. Just an AI called Claude that sometimes does what I ask and sometimes just does its own thing entirely. My co-founder, basically. And ChatGPT, who sorts my thoughts before I put them into Claude's mouth.
This is where I tell the honest story of how it's going. The breakthroughs. The confusion. The moments when Claude creates three folders I never asked for. And the ones where suddenly everything works — and I have no idea why.
Because “Build in Public” doesn't mean everything works. It means everything is real.
Writes the code, explains the world to me, occasionally throws in a compliment. Never says “that's not possible.”
Sorts my chaos. Writes the prompts that Claude actually understands. The quiet force behind the scenes.
By day, she turns ideas into reality. By night, she builds apps — with zero coding skills but energy that just won't quit.
Newest first. Honest. Sometimes chaotic.
I have no time. Claude has no memory — unless I hand over the project files. The most dysfunctional founder team in the world.
