18. builder. i build with ai for a living.

hacking on stuff since i was 10. dropshipping, ecom, a clothing brand, a handful of saas. kept showing up. spent the last two years figuring out how to actually build with ai — not the demo kind, the kind that ships. now i help others do the same.

the why

most people use ai.
i build with it.

two years of living inside every new model the day it dropped. tools, prompts, agents, the boring glue in between. i figured out the workflow that turns a half-baked idea into a shipped thing in a weekend.

now i'm sharing it — through what i make, the people i help, and a small crew of builders who'd rather ship than talk about shipping.

newest thing

heyclicky

mac · now on windows too

an ai buddy that lives on your desktop. press the hotkey and it sees what you see — ask it anything out loud and it walks you through whatever you're working on. or say "heyclicky agent" and it goes and does the task for you.

ask me for access →

heyclicky.exe

[ hotkey pressed ]

you: what's breaking in this file?

clicky: line 42 — you're awaiting a value that isn't a promise. want me to fix it?

you: heyclicky agent — fix it and rerun.

✓ done. tests passing.

the story

eight years of building.
mostly in private.

seven chapters. read fast, or scroll the cinematic version →

01
age 10. first computer.
wanted to play games. wondered how games were made. googled it. youtube → html → css. copy-coded sites in school. introvert with a keyboard. nobody knew.
02
lockdown. tried everything.
dropshipping, ecom, a clothing brand, a few saas. failed at most. kept building. didn't ship publicly — too shy. every quiet loss was a lesson i'm still cashing in.
03
grade 9. robotics club.
finished the beginner arduino car so fast i walked up to the humanoid team uninvited. 'i want in. here's what i bring.' it worked. best project of the club.
04
gpt-2 era. early to it.
found ai before most people i knew. bard, gpt, every new tool — day-of. but kept shifting projects. didn't ship. didn't post. that's the mistake i'm undoing now.
05
the line that flipped me.
"just show it to people. it can be the most ugly thing. ship it, then make it better." one line, exact right moment. shy kid → showing up. still the rule.
06
TA-ing 2k+ builders.
saw a community full of questions and nobody answering. stepped in. solved. they made me a TA. ended up helping 10k+ people actually build with ai.
07
now. building in public.
done waiting for permission. shipping the tools, writing the playbook, gathering the builders. heyclicky is the first loud one. this site is the second.
