zero coding background. Spent 8 hours today first time vibe coding a telegram bot and i have to say β it was NOT easy π
first few hours just trying to figure out how to download claude code and type in the terminal like a normal person. by the time things actually got going, my claude pro limit ran out π
then spent way too long trying to pay for the claude API as a Chinese user (not friendly. at all.) had to switch to Kimi. THEN found out my old test code was fighting with the new code and i had to fix THAT too
but when the first bot message came through?? i felt like i just made a lightbulb turn on. genuinely one of the best feelings
after 8 hours of suffering puzzle-solving, i built a bot that summarizes all my unread TG messages in the last 48 hours from clients, sorts them by priority, gives me action suggestions β and i can click each message to jump straight to it
me. zero technical background. zero coding knowledge. built a thing that actually helps my real work.
AI just made me feel stupidly empowered today and i'm not over it
on to the next one π«‘
