is from International Women's Day, yeah.
is from International Women's Day, yeah.
Well, I guess that's in Canada. But on
Well, I guess that's in Canada. But on
this website called Lovable, which is a
this website called Lovable, which is a
it's a it's a vibe coding website,
it's a it's a vibe coding website,
Um
right?
right?
Um
it's free all day.
it's free all day.
All like you so you can just do
All like you so you can just do
unlimited
unlimited
coding on it and
coding on it and
so if you want to check that out, I
so if you want to check that out, I
think that you might like that cuz
think that you might like that cuz
you're a code. Like I didn't really
you're a code. Like I didn't really
um like you know,
um like you know,
coding is like
coding is like
something I never thought I would ever
something I never thought I would ever
ever
ever
ever be interested in or like or I
ever be interested in or like or I
thought it would be very boring if I
thought it would be very boring if I
did.
did.
I mean it's like I wouldn't be able to
I mean it's like I wouldn't be able to
Yeah, just go to Lovable l o b a b l e.
Yeah, just go to Lovable l o b a b l e.
It's actually a really good one. Yeah,
It's actually a really good one. Yeah,
it's free all day.
it's free all day.
They also have like something with
They also have like something with
Stripe like a
Stripe like a
a bunch of bunch of like different
a bunch of bunch of like different

So
So
yeah.
yeah.
But um
But um
unfortunately I wasn't able to get the
unfortunately I wasn't able to get the
Claude thing. I mean it's like Claude's
Claude thing. I mean it's like Claude's
expensive. It's really expensive, but
expensive. It's really expensive, but
it's like really really really good,
it's like really really really good,
especially the Claude code. I think
especially the Claude code. I think
that's the best thing I've tried. I
that's the best thing I've tried. I
think it's better than the open Claude
think it's better than the open Claude
and everything.
and everything.
You're working on a project. Oh, that
You're working on a project. Oh, that
sounds cool. Hey, yeah, coding. Yeah,
sounds cool. Hey, yeah, coding. Yeah,
but um so anyway, then I'm then all of a
but um so anyway, then I'm then all of a
sudden I'm like, "Okay, this is kind of
sudden I'm like, "Okay, this is kind of
like the main in the matrix a little
like the main in the matrix a little
bit." and then it's like
bit." and then it's like
yeah, you can just play with play around
yeah, you can just play with play around
with it, right? Yeah, the zero Yeah,
with it, right? Yeah, the zero Yeah,
exactly, the zero one, right? It's like
exactly, the zero one, right? It's like
in the matrix and uh
in the matrix and uh
you all these things start to make
you all these things start to make
sense, you know, that it like didn't
sense, you know, that it like didn't
before. And it's like that's another I'm
before. And it's like that's another I'm
just gotten into it. I think there's
just gotten into it. I think there's
like three levels. Like there's like
like three levels. Like there's like
that like the really brilliant like
that like the really brilliant like
coders and hackers. There's the people
coders and hackers. There's the people
that know how to code and hack a little
that know how to code and hack a little
bit and then there's like most people
bit and then there's like most people
are like under like the like 99% are are
are like under like the like 99% are are
like just can use know how to use a
like just can use know how to use a
computer or just regular users and
computer or just regular users and
stuff.
stuff.
And so but
And so but
uh
uh
but yeah, But do I do learn like a lot
but yeah, But do I do learn like a lot
about coding like through it. I just
about coding like through it. I just
wouldn't be able to do it by hand by
wouldn't be able to do it by hand by
myself. Like can you imagine like cuz
myself. Like can you imagine like cuz
it's like
it's like
I mean that some of the I mean I mean
I mean that some of the I mean I mean
there's some of the things that are so
there's some of the things that are so
complicated that it I can't even even
complicated that it I can't even even
the chat GPT and stuff gets complicated
the chat GPT and stuff gets complicated
trying to figure out and it takes a long
trying to figure out and it takes a long
time, right? And so
