𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 "𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲"? Heads up: this might be more relevant if you are starting from scratch… Today, many startups skip traditional design steps and go straight from an idea to working code. In my Pocket Tax project, I chose to skip static wireframing and work directly in Google AI Studio.

Keeping up with AI news and platforms can be challenging, but communities of builders and designers make it easier to learn about new tools and discover small but important tips that you might not have known.

Recently, Devpost promoted a Learning Hackathon that presents a great opportunity for non-developers to think more like programmers and understand backend planning while vibe coding. I have learned to run Claude in the terminal and use Hackathon's plugin, which interviews you to generate ideas.
