Day 70 of #ZeroToBuilder 💥
You shipped your first open-source PR.
Now Google drops Gemini CLI—AI in your terminal:
🔹 gemini explain app.py
🔹 gemini write test for routes.py
Your laptop? Not just a tool. It’s a teammate.’

Day 67 of #ZeroToBuilder
Pair programming with AI = thinking like a builder, not just a coder.
🧠 Narrate your logic
🛠️ Let AI reflect back
🎙️ Try voice mode — it’s like having a junior dev who never gets tired.
We’re building real software now. 67% done.

Day 55 of #ZeroToBuilder 🛡️
Learned how to keep secrets safe & block bad input. Even beginner apps need security.
💡 Prompt:
“Review this code for hardcoded secrets & unsafe input.”
Start building like it’s going to production.

Day 54 of #ZeroToBuilder
"Do you even performance optimize?" 👀
🔍 Is Python still right?
💾 Is MySQL holding you back?
🤖 Let AI guide you toward better, faster decisions.
We’re not just coding—we’re building smarter.

The past few days of #ZeroToBuilder have been foundational—we've been learning how ML models are trained. Simple ideas, stacked together.
Day 49, we put it all together in a mini-project. AI training doesn’t have to be intimidating when you learn it step by step. open.substack.com/pub/zerotobu...
🧱 Day 37–38 of #ZeroToBuilder
Built a CRUD app? Now it’s time to ship it—and go cloud-native.
Today we:
✅ Deploy your Flask app
✅ Explore Google Cloud Firestore (NoSQL, serverless, free tier)
✅ Drop in a real GitHub starter repo
🔗 Learn, fork, and launch: open.substack.com/pub/zerotobu...
If you have been following up to day 35 of #ZerotoBuilder, you are well ahead of how your peers are using AI. Today, we recap what we've learned thus far about on building Flask-based apps. open.substack.com/pub/zerotobu...
I'm double-fisting today’s tech energy. One hand on Michael Dell's AI keynote at #DellTechWorld, the other pushing out Day 34 of Zero to Builder. I'm giving the AI Factory a new definition. #ZerotoBuilder
Let’s talk front-end meets back-end in Flask. 👇

Day 32 of #ZeroToBuilder — my code now responds with “Hi, Keith!” 😄
Built a Flask app with dynamic routes + form input. AI helped me scaffold the whole thing fast.
Today’s win: turning user input into interactive behavior.

🧱 Day 31 of #ZeroToBuilder
Today I built my first Flask server on purpose.
Funny enough—my first AI-generated app used Flask too. I revisited that repo (CTO Scanner) with Codex and it was like watching past-me get a code review from future-me.

Day 30 of #ZeroToBuilder
Built my first real CLI app using Python + AI.
✅ Classes
✅ Generators
✅ Tests
✅ AI-built docstrings & CLI help
New today: “Vibe Code” prompt to build side-by-side with ChatGPT.
What are you building? Show me. 👇

If you're following something like the #ZerotoBuilder path, this is a huge multiplier.
Projects build on past lessons—your AI needs that history to help you grow faster.
Day 29 of #ZeroToBuilder 🧠
We built a CLI task tracker—but more importantly, we hit pause to remember what we’ve learned.
Decorators, classes, testing... it’s a lot.
AI helped me recall the path.
Catch the recap + project here: zerotobuilder.substack.com/p/day-29-bui...
Day 28 of #ZeroToBuilder: I let AI write my tests... but I still had to decide what to test.
We explored TDD, unittest, and prompting for edge cases.
AI speeds things up, but thoughtful testing is still on me.
Next: a CLI app with docs and tests.

I have roughly 100 subscribers to my #ZerotoBuilder substack. Approximately 47% of the readers open their daily lessons. That's 47 people advancing their careers via my content. As my friend would say, that's dope!
#ZerotoBuilder. Decorators. It took me a minute to wrap my head around when to use it. An example is scaling the use of a function beyond a team. IE, if security wanted to add logging to a credit card processing call without changing the function itself. open.substack.com/pub/zerotobu...
Real talk Saturday. Folks ask how I balance work, life, learning, and creating content like I’m some kind of machine. Truth is—I’m not. Today, I’m pulling weeds. Literally. While #ZerotoBuilder takes a rest, I’m tending to what matters offline too. That’s the rhythm.
Today’s #ZeroToBuilder feels like a real shift. We’re moving from just using AI to generate code to actually building applications. Fundamentals matter more than ever. Time to push myself as I work through tonight’s exercises. zerotobuilder.substack.com/p/zero-to-bu...
Day 15 of 100 Days of AI - #ZerotoBuilder
Let's take a break in the action and focus on what we've learned over the past week. open.substack.com/pub/zerotobu...
Fun with #zerotobuilder office hour. I used Cursor AI to create a basic prompt app that calls OpenAI's API in about 45 minutes. Something that would have easily taken me all day, if not longer, at my current development skill level. www.linkedin.com/events/73215...
I knocked out Day 11 of #ZerotoBuilder on the flight back from AI Infrastructure Day 2. Python is the language for data science and has a rich set of data types. Today we introduce Tuples and Sets. zerotobuilder.substack.com/p/day-11-exp...
We’re on day 10 of 100 days of AI. Our #zerotobuilder has these check points designed in. What have we learned and how do we reinforce that learning? open.substack.com/pub/zerotobu...
I'm here in the Valley, and I ran into a Nvidia executive who thanked me for producing my #zerotobuilder 100-day learning journey. Keep building out loud. You never know who is watching.
Day 6 of #ZeroToBuilder: Learning functions—and how to ask AI for help when you’re stuck. Wrote a greeting function, hit Args: in a docstring, paused, asked ChatGPT. Clarity unlocked. Keep building. Keep asking. #zerotobuilder 👇
Have you been keeping up with #ZerotoBuilder? We are on Control Flow in Python and it's all about eating your curds and wey!

If you’re still on Day 1 of #ZerotoBuilder, that’s not failure—it’s evidence you’re doing it right.
Learning isn’t a race.
If you’re pausing to ask AI questions, that’s not a delay.
That’s mastery forming.
The course expects you to struggle a little. Keep going.
Diving into Git & GitHub tonight — setup was smooth thanks to CursorAI. But the real challenge? Wrapping your head around Git's terminology and workflow. That’s where the learning curve hits.
Up next in #100DaysofAI: Variables & Strings. Familiar ground, but always room to go deeper. #ZerotoBuilder
🛠️ Pro Tip:
Start with:
“Assume I have a file called hello_world.py that prints 'Hello, World'. I want to...”
This is especially important when using tools like Cursor or ChatGPT, where each chat = fresh slate.
