Ep 07 | My App Broke

Three failed attempts at vibe coding a language learning app taught me something I didn't want to admit: not having an engineering background isn't just an inconvenience, it's a real wall.

So I changed direction. I subscribed to Claude Code and Cowork to actually learn how to build an app properly and document the whole thing as I go.

This is the audio journal of a non-technical founder figuring it out in real time. No polished answers, just honest progress.
