From Make to n8n to Coding

I never really imagined that I would get this far in my ai journey. What started as a genuine thirst for ai knowledge to building simple workflows in make.com then transitioning to n8n and now I am started learning how to code and vibe code at the same time.

Make taught me logic.
n8n taught mo how to set up my own vps and understand server side deployment, security and terminal functions. I know so not n8n but because I want easy deployment for clients side, you need to make it easy for clients right and not be ignorant on server side stuff.
Coding. I enjoy vibe coding but it is all well and good for Prototyping. I learned to appreciate function calling, JWT, authentication, databasing. Etc

To be honest, I did not see myself getting to this point. I broke so many apps. I got locked out in my own vps. I built something coz I like it but no one else.

There are more failures in the process and the cost of it is a lot money wasted. Lol

But I have no regrets.

Today, I finally could say I have a production ready application that I am so proud of. 👏

And this took 18 months of trial and errors.

I feel like a proud dad!! Lol

So keep learning and not be fixated in perfection. Celebrate your own wins even no one else will celebrate it for you ( I made a personal app even for this called The Joy Jar - documenting my own wins daily big or small) coz who does not need some good vibes. Lol

at least the ai celebrates with me. Loool
